Noah Lyles has been in the headlines in the current season for both his athletic achievements and the off-court drama. Lyles came into the limelight once again when he became the triple world champion at the recently concluded 2023 World Athletics Championship in Budapest. This victory was also followed by scrutiny from the NBA stars after Lyles called out the NBA world for referring to them as the world champions. This did not go too well for Lyles, who faced retaliation from NBA stars like Kevin Durant and others.

Following this controversy, Team USA entered the FIBA World Cup but failed to live up to their reputation, resulting in their recent elimination. After the team failed to impress, they garnered scrutiny from the fans and were trolled while giving the Noah Lyles reference. Amid this ongoing debate, the World Athletics has also joined the internet to support Noah Lyles while taking a jab at Team America.

World Athletics rallies behind Noah Lyles

After the USA’s 111-113 loss against Germany on Friday, the internet is rallying behind Lyles in calling out the NBA division. The World Athletics has also joined hands with the internet community and posted an update on their official Twitter handle. They shared the USA vs. Germany scorecard with Lyles image below that says “WORLD CHAMPION OF WHAT? This is the same statement Lyles gave during the interview when he was talking about the NBA.

World Athletics captioned the post with a zip-it emoji while tagging Noah Lyles on it. This major setback for the USA came on September 8 when Germany knocked out the star-studded American team at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. This marked Team USA’s second defeat in the current tournament, following their loss to Lithuania on Sunday. This loss, like the previous one, sparked viral reactions and drew support for Noah Lyles.

Team USA did no have the best world cup outing

After their 104-110 defeat against Lithuania, the NBA stars’ statement on Lyles backfired on them, and people started to back the 26-year-old triple world champion. Following these two disappointing defeats, the American team once again squared off against Canada on Sunday, this time vying for third place. Unfortunately, they suffered yet another heartbreaking loss, with a final score of 118?127, leaving them without a single medal.
