Noah Lyles' past comments questioning the NBA's 'world champion' title have reignited controversy following Team USA's gold medal win over France at the Paris Olympics. Lyles argued that the NBA champions cannot be called 'world champions' as the league is primarily American. Despite Team USA's social media post claiming 'world champion' status, fans and critics pointed out that Germany holds the FIBA World Championship title. LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant's Olympic performance was celebrated, with Steve Kerr expressing admiration for coaching LeBron. Anthony Edwards also gained recognition for his Olympic contributions despite rumors about Noah Lyles' absence from his shoe launch event.
