“Why do you keep shooting at the NBA? … If you want to shoot, shoot at the fact y'all ain't got no league for your own … shoot at why they aren't pouring money into that sport, which they should be.”

Watching people run for like 10 seconds isn’t that entertaining yea
They do have leagues and different competitions tbf. And he’s trolling for engagement, Noah doesn’t even look convinced of his jokes
Even the NFL fans going at him now this will never end
This whole NBA champs vs world champs argument is something that you discuss with your buddy for 20 seconds until you realize how boring of a debate it is and then the conversation goes elsewhere. How is this still getting so much attention?
Yeah, I also wonder why just the NBA? The MLB literally calls their finals “the world series”. Why not pick on them? lol
Also, I barely hear people call the NBA champs the world champs. Maybe ten years ago it was more of a thing. But I rarely hear it now since Pop brought it up.
Is this the corniest beef of the year?

I would like to see some version of a “champions league.” Even if the Celtics would clown the Euroleague winner, I think it’s something would help grow the game more and become more interesting over time.
Uhhhh someone should tell Carmelo that track has the Diamond League…
This sub seems more obsessed with this than Lyles is
Yet another Lyles thread…
Noah Lyles making the NBA world upset is actually hilarious. It makes people more upset that he’s a gold medalist.
Nobody gonna tell Melo that Noah has competed in the diamond league and that the diamond league is pretty legit?
I think we should focus our attention to the Miss Universe pageant. I only see inferior earthlings in this competition. Where are my Martian boobas and that sweet Uranussy?
Lyles is trolling the NBA and they are all biting so hard their gums are bleeding.
For a league that seems to pride itself on its trash talk along with its play it’s sad to seem them fall so easily to some weak trash talk.
god the off-season sucks
So funny one guys statement got the whole league riled up 😂😂😂. He’s living rent free in their heads
This has gotta be the most forced and one-sided shit ever lol. Just a bunch of NBA fans and podcasters talking about it at this point.
Is Carmelo brain dead or is he joking?
‼️‼️‼️‼️
Technically they do have a league its called the diamond league. Its hosted around the world and i think winners of events get paid 25k each 1st place per meet. Its pretty neat. But its not that big as the NBA and Noah honestly keeps trying to punch above his weight with his beef to try and promote himself.
I coach and follow track. Its pretty niche, and understandably so. Noah is trying to play a heel and I cannot stand him.
What a stupid non issue!
hows this still a story…lets move on ppl
They should stop giving his lame a$$ the attention Without it, he’s irrelevant
>Keep shooting at the NBA
I’m OOTL has Noah Lyles said anything about this topic recently beyond that one clip from months ago?
Wow I never thought I’d see the day I’d agree with Melo but here we are
Americans are so butthurt that they still have this living rent free in their heads
Monetize a 10-20 second sport. Please let me know how you would do that. One NBA commercial is longer than that. We gonna do elimination sprinting every week?
If people have followed Lyles he has in fact spoke on all the things Melo is suggesting.
Who’s they?
They do have a league called the Diamond League
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant
With legalized sports gambling, it’s kind of wild there are no professional track and field leagues. Degenerate gamblers addicted to watching a shotput or javelin in the air seems like everything those books could hope for
Can someone please ELI5?
Noah Lyles is a real piece of shit. Knowing racing with Covid and endangering everyone else around him really shows what an ignorant selfish piece of shit he is
Is this the thread where we defend a dumb person for saying some dumb shit?
Damn, they’re still talking abt this? Guess it caught a lot of feelings…
THE NBA DOES NOT EVEN CALL ITSELF WORLD CHAMPS. That’s just something T-shirt makers or the team might put on a banner, but the Association itself does not title the Finals Championship “world”, it just says NBA finals champion. This is all made up in the first place.
The first time he said “world champion of what!” It was cool. I have no idea what he’s saying now, but the USA Basketball Olympic gold should end that. I get Noah’s frustration, but the NBA hasn’t done anything to him.
Maybe if Serbia lost we could have the discussion
I don’t get why people are mad at him. He hasn’t talked about it on his own volition for a year. The only people who are still on this are petty NBA fans.
The do have their own “league” to be fair. It’s called the Diamond League.
It’s so funny how defensive nba guys are about this stupid topic
