Regarding the “world champions” claim, a former NBA player states clearly, “We’ll bust that a–.”

Track star Noah Lyles caused controversy during the summer when he asserted that NBA players didn’t deserve the title of “world champions” following their Finals victory.

“They have the world champion on their head, and I have to watch the NBA Finals.” World champion of what?” Shortly after winning three gold medals at the world championships, Lyles announced in August. “The US? Do not misunderstand me. I love the U.S. at times, but that ain’t the globe. That’s not how the world works.”

He went on, “The world is us. Almost every nation is present here, battling, prospering, and flying its flag to demonstrate its representation. The NBA does not have any flags. We have more work to do. Now, let’s introduce Nate Robinson, who is unmistakably on Durant’s side.

In a recent interview, Robinson stated that he “never understood” the world champions’ position.thus the world champions are the American champions.

“If you want to struggle for that moniker, whoever wins it overseas, come play a championship in America, and we’ll crush that a–. Robinson, who has played abroad, stated, “It’s that easy.” “The best skill is ourselves. The guys we have here in America are the best in the world. Clearly. It doesn’t matter what people think.”
