Just in: Team USA basketball shows zero class with Noah Lyles trolling tweet… See More

Rewind to last year, NBA players and NBA Twitter were aghast when the Team USA track-and-field star went on a rant questioning the validity of NBA champions declaring themselves “world champions.”

Lyles was fairly pointing out that while the four major American sports leagues usually declare their winners “world champions,” it’s not a true test against the rest of the world like track and field and other Olympic sports.

Also his tone is good natured when he pokes fun at the NBA. The official USA Basketball account couldn’t help themselves and stooped low for no reason whatsoever.

(In case the tweet gets deleted, it simply says, “Are we the world champs now?” The USA Basketball Men’s National Team is an NBA All-Star team of the greatest players across the league and the world.

They were heavily favored to win the gold medal. Steph Curry went full nuclear Steph in the fourth quarter to fend off a relentless French national team in front of an electric home crowd at Accor Arena.
