To the Real World

Real talk. The Yanks are so full of sh!#%t. Can never understand why the SB winner is referred to as World Champions in a sport that is as American as they come.

 
carl0002 2023-08-28 14:35:48 

Ok here we go. He might have a point, that doesn't mean that he needed to make it public. Celebrate your win, do whatever... but not necessary for him to go where he went. He could at least wait until he sign some kinda endorsement deal to make himself unattractive to the rest of the sporting public.

yeah....the nba is actually harder that 1........................3 minutes of sprinting streched across 5 days. and nba players are extremely respectful of other sports and sportsmen. lyles is just looking for attention. its actually quite pitiful

Attention or not, he's right. Is Manchester City the World Champion? But Denver Nuggets are?

PS: Today's NBA is soft as charmin with all that BS load management. Does anyone play 82 games any more?

Maybe a European company can grease him palms with a nod and a wink.

its not the same thing....the nba is not the op sport in any country outside of the USA ......like how football is the most popular sport in almost every country, like how cricket is the most popular sport in most of the cricket playing commonwealth. Thus the idea of a basketball world cup along the lines of a football, ruby or cricket world cup is simply not plausible. Man City may not be world champs officially, but they are the best football side in the world because they've won the hardest and most prestigious tournament among club teams. Internationally, its argentina because they've won the world cup. Basketball does not have that sort of standard globally.....argentina, spain, possibly serbia and the states, and no other team will win if the usa sends their best squad as the olympics has shown since they allowed professional players in 1992

man however you twist and turn it...it jess feel wrong to call a local competition a world championship even if you are the only one playing that sport big grin

it does feel wrong somewhat, but lyles just attacking the nba, an excellent competition to increase his profile seems wrong to me as well. he's just a wannabe.

As it is T&F is struggling for air time in the USA and far behind the nba, nfl and possibly even football in terms of market share. the whole doping years of the 90s(from carl to gatlin) did a lot to contribute to its diminished status

Do men commenting here realize that while 1 club team in a single country tourney is crowned World Champs there are countries that do give US National Basketball Team runs for there money?

 
Barry 2023-08-28 16:35:15 

Canada is world champions in ice hockey… I remember that picture with the two retards twisted

“Foolinish” bro. Manchester City won’t play Argentina. A relay team from USC broke the 4x1 record but it could not be ratified because although there were 3 Yanks including Orenthal James Simpson it was anchored by Yardie Dr. Lennox Miller. City has players from all over the world. Better yuh did use UEFA cup and or early IPL Champions Trophy that TNT nearly won as examples

The USA has lost the world cup of basketball with their best players in the past. Same with baseball, which advertises the club title as the World series.

Some info for you

There are other 'club' leagues. The Europeans once ran their mouth at their club footie in the past only for Pele and Santos to occasionally put them back in their box.

Face it, Americans take the "We are the world" approach.

It's not a true world club competition, despite it being the best one. That is all.

They were also beaten by tiny Lithuania who has some big men

 
JahJah 2023-09-08 16:47:39 

And there's a reason why a certain dude is called LeBronze James.

Kobe (aka MJ 2.0) had to return to save the USA blushes on the Redeem Team the way MJ used to show the rest of the World who is boss.
big grin

 
JahJah 2023-09-10 11:08:43 

And now they are beaten by Canada for the bronze. 2nd straight WC with no medal.

Other teams play something the modern NBA player is not accustomed to: defense.

Trae young was not included in the US team because FIBA competition is a bit more physical than the NBA,
