U.S. Track and Field athlete Noah Lyles has called out the NBA and the players have responded.
Lyles questioned NBA players using the term "world champion" when referring to winning the Larry O'Brien trophy, saying "world champion of what...the United States?"
Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Aaron Gordon and more all had responses for Lyles question.
