[Saba Sports News] Noah Lyles has perfected the art of NBA criticism.
The Olympic gold medalist appeared on “Nightcap” with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Ochocinco Johnson, where his past remarks about NBA champions not deserving the title of “world champions” came up.
During the discussion, Sharpe pointed out that the NBA attracts the best players globally, mentioning Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets’ star and three-time NBA MVP.
Sharpe asked, “Is Nikola Jokic one of the best players in the world?”
Lyles’ response was surprising: “Imma be honest, I don’t know who that is.”
Whether Lyles was serious or just trolling, it’s clear he’s not a fan of the NBA. Earlier this month, he also took a jab at NBA star Anthony Edwards. Lyles’ criticisms have even caught the attention of USA Basketball and recently, he made headlines for his ongoing beef with NFL star Tyreek Hill.
