The American basketball team has always been classified as a team. Invincible. Before starting any tournament, this national team always considered itself the biggest favorite despite the current form of its opponents.
And this doesn’t just happen at World Cups or Olympics. Superiority American players moving to the NBA, It was also rated as the best league. But having the best competition doesn’t always make you a world champion. That’s what happened to them at the World Cup, where they lost in the semi-finals against Germany.
And now, Noah Lyles’ speech gets stronger. The second athlete after Usain Bolt to win a triple at the Athletics World Cup (100m, 200m and 4×100 in Budapest), he had criticized the superiority of the American competition just a week earlier. “You know what makes me sad? Watching the NBA Finals And look, they have the ‘World Champion’ in their minds. World champion of what? From the United States? Do not get me wrong. I love America…sometimes but we are not the world. This world. There are almost all countries fighting and carrying flags here. “There are no flags in the NBA,” Noah Lyles said.
NBA players were quick to respond.. “Someone help this brother” Here’s what Kevin Durant said: “LLast time I looked NBA It was the best competition in the world” said Juan Toscano-Anderson. “This is not true,” added Tyus Jones. “Even so, I’d go for a smoke at 200 meters“I can assure you that Aaron Gordon is very arrogant.
And now it’s Durant, Jones or Gordon who should be kept. After the USA was eliminated from the World Cup, social networks turned to the athlete. “They were upset by Noah Lyles’ words and when they really needed to prove they were world champions, they didn’t do it. Basketball beat pride“one user writes ‘X.’” Even the athletics association posted a meme about Lyles.
