"I love the U.S... but that ain't the world!" ❌ Noah Lyles throws shade at the NBA's 'world champions'

I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have world champion on their heads. World champion of what? The United States? Don’t get me wrong. I love the U.S. at times. But that ain’t the world.... We are the world. We have almost every country out here fighting and thriving and putting on a flag to show that they are represented. There ain’t no flags in the NBA.

I really like that basketball is growing across the globe, but it’s straight up ignorant to insinuate the NBA championship isn’t the single biggest achievement in basketball. Maybe that will change, but it won’t be for a good while.
