USA Basketball had a message for Noah Lyles after the staff’s large win.
Final 12 months, Lyles went viral when he mocked NBA gamers for crowning themselves as “world champions” regardless of not competing in opposition to groups world wide.
“You recognize the factor that hurts me essentially the most is that I’ve to look at the NBA finals they usually have “world champion” on their head. World champion of what? The USA? Don’t get me incorrect. I like the U.S., at occasions, however that ain’t the world. That isn’t the world. We’re the world. We’ve nearly each nation out right here combating, thriving, placing on their flag to indicate that they’re represented. There ain’t no flags within the NBA.”
After Lyles received the bronze medal on the 200m race this week, USA Basketball took a shot on the American sprinter on social media.
“We don’t play for bronze.”
On Saturday, Workforce USA received gold after defeating France within the finals, and the official USA Basketball Twitter web page as soon as once more fired a shot at Lyles.
“Are we the World Champs now?”
Hopefully, the meat between Workforce USA basketball and Lyles will finish after the Olympics.
