Hoops fans didn't forget about Noah Lyles' beef with the NBA after his jaw-dropping 100m win
If Noah Lyles runs into any NBA players during this year’s Olympics, the moment might just be must-see television.
Nearly a year ago, Kevin Durant and several NBA players took exception to comments Lyles made about the NBA claiming to be “world champions” when they *technically* aren’t. Thus, an unofficial beef was born.
In the time since that clip went viral, Noah has talked A LOT of trash — colossal amounts. But he backed up all of it Sunday when he stunned the Olympic field in the men’s100-meter final by taking the title of the fastest man on the planet.
