Im so proud of Denver. Greatest country in the entire planet of America.

[micahdavis]

We just gonna ignore Aaron Gordon saying he’ll smoke Lyles in a 200m 😂

[yarrenvillalobos]

Never heard or seen Manchester City claim themselves as World Champions..

[brunoramos]

Now he is Olympic champion, the REAL world champion

[andrehenriques]

Its crazy that the one time the entire NBA agrees on something, that something is factually wrong

[mileslaw]

"Being the best in world doesn't simply makes you the world champion."
That's exactly the point.

[umelbumel]

I think we can all agree now that NBA Champions is more accurate.

[EthanStocks-nw]

Update that man won GOLD in the Olympics against Jamaica in front of the NBA players 🥶

[tomm]

It's really crazy how so much people can't see a difference between being best team in the world and being word champions.

[JKimPersonal]

He ain’t wrong. It’s like being crowned Mr Universe. What other planet is competing?

As a European, I feel like it's ridiculous that I even have to say this. Nobody argues that the NBA is the best basketball league in the world by far and therefore the NBA champion is probably the best basketball team in the world. However, this doesn't change the fact that it is arrogant for NBA champions to call themselves world champions. The one and only reason for that is that they didn't win against teams from the whole world but instead only against NBA teams. Yes, they would probably beat every single other team but the point is that they didn't even compete against them so they do not have the right to call themselves world champions. To make it clear, let's just use football, the most popular sport in the world, as a comparison. In Football, the best league is the Premier League, not by a margin as big as the NBA in basketball but it's growing every year. You said that the NBA is a very international league, but it is nothing against the Premier League where 66% of players are foreign compared to the NBA's 21%. So do the Premier League champions call themselves world champions? No. To be fair, there is still one competition which is considered better even though it is not a league: The UEFA Champions League, which is an international European Football Cup. So the Champions League winners call themselves world champions, right? No. The winners of the Champions League compete against the winners of the other continental cups in the Club World Cup and the winner is called the world champion. In 9/10 times, the Champions League winner wins the Club World Cup as well but the point is that they competed against the best of the rest of the world so they can rightfully call themselves world champions. If NBA champions had the desire to call themselves world champions, they could easily go to the FIBA and ask for them to create a basketball world cup. But they have no right to do something like that after winning the NBA. The same goes for the NFL and of course the MLB. I find it really hard to believe that so many American NBA players made fun of Noah after his interview because the things he said were absolutely right. It's not that difficult to understand, you can call yourself a world champion if you beat the best teams all over the world, what is there to argue about that? It is not a coincidence that no foreign NBA player commented on this. It's nothing more than common sense to understand that Noah's statement is absolutely true. This wouldn't have even been a debate in Europe. Americans often don't seem to understand that there is more in the world than the US and they are not the center of the world...

[arthropod-doctor]

He backed up his words. Massive props to Lyles. Glad he brought home gold.

[ogrxdy]

The funniest part about all this? He’s literally correct and there’s no debate 😂💀

[splayzer]

Lyles is right! Also, as a personal rule, if Perkins says something is wrong (or right) 99.9% of the time, the opposite is the correct answer. So, Lyles is definitely right!

[isomcbuckets]

Watching this as a Non-American after seeing USA lose to Lithuania is toooo funny

[TheMarkSasuke]

Absolutely no one is debating if the NBA isn't the best in the world—it clearly is. This still doesn't make them "world champions" in a traditional understanding of the term.

[benjaaaT]

I didn't see an international player react like they did. That should tell you everything.

[Takid]

First time I gotta disagree with you my boy… Lyles dead correct.

[bennurse]

Being the best team in the world and being world champions are two entirely different things

[franciscocarlosferreirasou]

I'm here after he won the 100m gold medal in the olympics
