"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.

Popovich said the same 13 years ago: “There are no world champions in the NBA, so anybody that has the flag up that says world champions is not correct.” He continued, “The world champions, I believe, are the Spanish team right now. USA is the Olympic champion. The Lakers are the NBA champion.”
