NBA: If the world dont like it............let em do somethin about it........
People mad at Noah Lyles for his comment about the NBA
- Thread starter keone
- Start date
LOL you right they really shouldn't even play the game right. Everybody show up and just decide whos the best team based on your opinion right. LOL.
I don't disagree that America has the best talent. But if you get to say your the best in the World and you don't actually play any other country I don't see how that works. And it's not the whole NBA it's one team that gets to say they are the World Champ. You telling me them 12 guys get to say they are the best team in the World that year by winning one tournament in the US?

I think they did...
It would be one thing if it was Luka but sending this boring apathetic mfer over to dominate the sport adds insult to injury!
Since the dream team in '92, the US basketball team has won gold 7 out of 8 times and they'll win it again next year too. And that's with international NBA players playing for their countries. Most of the time we don't just win, we blow teams out.
What foreign team could beat any championship NBA team? There's no foreign team in the world that would beat Jordan, Shaq and Kobe, Lebron, Steph, etc. playing at their best.
By what metric are NBA teams NOT the best in the world?

Noah Lyles brain
yall keep making it about skills
nobody is saying that nba is not the best league
again is a domestic league
Also he mostly talked about the US basketball team.
Which undermined his point because they play internationally whereas the Denver Nuggets played an American 4th seed, 7th seed and two eighth seeds but no international teams!
Dude was out of pocket trying to clown NBA players
Gilbert wasn't doing anything but yelling the entire time. He had no real argument.
The 1st brother that said Popovich said the same thing as Lyles and nobody questioned Pop cause he is white.
That is the brother who won the argument. If you don't play other countries you are not World Champs, it's that simple.
I understand you have the best players and you would probably win if there was a world tournament.
The USA Olympic team has the only real claim to being World Champs, that is the true answer.
Naw, fam he took at shot at NBA players. He said they are the “Champs of What”? He is saying that NBA players are not the best in the world.
The best basketball players in the world play in the NBA. So yes you are the world champions. It doesn’t matter what country you are from,
Didn't the Kansas City Chiefs win the World Championship? 
Was completely unnessesary to make that statement.
I'm praying to God the Atlanta Falcons with NFL World Championship this year.Didn't the Kansas City Chiefs win the World Championship?
Since it's not a world championship, then it's not very "Super." They should call it "The Good Bowl" then.I'm praying to God the Atlanta Falcons with NFL World Championship this year.
1. You're ignoring the dismissive tone in his voice.
2. It's not a domestic league. Over a quarter of the players are foreigners. Do Serbia, Slovenia, Latvia, and Lithuania even have track teams? Lol. They're all represented in the NBA. You're focusing on where the games are played instead of who is playing them.
Trying to read this made the fan come on in my brain
I read this in an African accent
LMAAAAO
Yes.
No place in the world plays "American Football" at the NFL level. There is the IFAF (International Federation of American Football) which has a world championship every 4 years. The US has only entered the last 12 years and has won it every time. No active NFL players have ever played due to restrictions. There are 73 other countries that have American Football leagues but they aren't playing at the NFL level. Our scrubs dominate the world in this sport.
The fact that you're taking any of this bullshit that seriously means you should really go outside for some fresh air.
The only answer to this whole shit.
"Does it affect my check? It doesn't? Then muthafucka call it whatever the fuck you want. You could call that shit champion of the Bronx as long as I get my bread."
The nigga that started this whole shit....
Is not even a professional basketball player. lol.
People getting triggered by internet trolling in the year 2023
I look at it like this
People forget the only reason the olympics scores are closer is because the NBA talent goes back to their respective countries to play for the national team. Bar the NBA talent from returning home and we getting those dream team 92 scores back.
Would any NBA championship team beat the Dream Team or Team USA???
That’s basically the argument
I'll say this, Those Eastern European/ Saudi mfkrs been fucking with the WNBA for a minute.....even had some WNBA stars sitting out their USA seasons to get the bag playing overseas.......
What if they started that shit in the NBA?!
Get a newly hot player similar to Nike/MJ or LBJ or UnderArmor and Steph
"Aye buddy we believe in you. We'll pay you $50 million (hell they could offer over $100 mill) to sit out in the USA and play 1 season here."
Could you imagine if Steph coming off ring 1 or 2 sits out the next season cuz Saudis drop $100 Mil for 1 season?!!
Hell they make it a package deal Steph, Klay and Draymond get $250 mil to sit out a season and join a Saudi club?!!! The league would be losing its shit!!

Very weird....thats my biggest problem wit all this.
Talk about YOU and your sport my dude....why you even thinking about the nba
Very CAC like..smh
Who they gonna play against?????
Are people so dayum sensitive that you get upset over a statement. Folks act like he hit one of their children or something. It's not that god dayum serious......
The NBA is a domestic league!
66% of the English Premier League are foreign players does that mean the league is an international league?
An unprovoked handpicking of a league with a Black face to boogey man and disparage on the national stage is indeed a serious problem. It plays into a narrative to undermine and over criticize. More importantly, the comment was silly and poorly thought out and articulated. He clearly was attention whoring.. So let the muthafucka deal wit all this attention.Are people so dayum sensitive that you get upset over a statement. Folks act like he hit one of their children or something. It's not that god dayum serious......
The PGA asked who the Liv players would.play against.....
There's already "pro" teams there, some are decent, but hell those dudes are trillionaires......they'll chrome plate 30 cars just to say they did it, you.domt think they'll recruit enough international players and a handful of NBA stars to get a decent league going?
Hell even it's only 6-8 teams for that type of money they won't care

Nope, I'm not triggered at all. He's not the 1st person to say that about a professional sports league. This is basically what "sports talk" is—debating a lot of meaningless shit. Who is the GOAT in this sport or that sport? What if the champ from 60 years ago fought that champ from 30 years ago? Are golfers and NASCAR drivers athletes? Should Pete Rose be in the HOF? Who is the true Home Run King? It goes on and on...
I don't know anything about soccer, but he didn't call out soccer, he called out the NBA.
If the best players from around the world are already playing in the NBA, there's no need to play every country's scrubs while wearing national uniforms to legitimately be world champions.
My question doesn’t require any knowledge about soccer. I think it is pretty clear you don’t understand your own point.
Did you read what you typed? You said foreign players you did not say the BEST foreign players. The best basketball players from 40 countries across six continents come to the NBA.
No sports team competes against 8 billion people. You compete against the best from a variety of countries. The NBA does this.
He's the one that was sensitive though.... he had just done a great thing, but instead of basking in his own accomplishment, he for some reason decided to go after a league in a whole different sport for a stupid reason... and he was talking like it hurt him personally. So yeah, it's not that serious, but he decided to put it out there. We're just debating his stupidity for making an unforced error.
