I want to get to some other athletes from Team USA who made headlines the past two weeks during the Olympic competition. Specifically this dude, Noah Lyles. Now. Lyles is the American sprinter who won gold in the very close dash. He later won bronze and a two hundred meter dash, an event where he was favored. However, it was revealed that Lyles ran the event with COVID after testing positive a few days earlier. Now, Loles is no stranger to controversy. Just in case y'all no. You may recall he made headlines last year for calling out the NBA for using the term world champion for teams that win the finals. Here's what he had to say back then.

You know the thing that hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA finals and they have world champion on they head. World champion of what the United States? Don't Kid't me wrong. I love the US at times, but to the world, that is not the world.

We are the world.

We are the world.

We have almost every country out here, fighting, thriving, putting on they flag to show that they are represented. There ain't no flags in the NBA.

As for USA basketball. They shared this tweet after beating France for the gold medal on Saturday. Quote are we the world champions now? End? Quote? It's all in fun. It's no big deal, and I'm not gonna make this out to be a big deal. But when you talk as much back as Noah Llows does, we don't want to hear about Covid. I know it's teams making a big deal about it. I mean, he won bronze in the two hundred meter, all right, he withdrew from the four by one hundred meter relays because he was sick. Certainly nobody is questioning the legitimacy of his illness or anything like that. I certainly don't mean to imply that. And no allows with somebody to be celebrated, but so is Team USA. Why would you throw shade on that? Do you you have any idea how many international players bless the NBA? Yo Kisch is a three time league MVP. Where's he from? Luka Doncik is a superstar in this league? Where's he from? Monod Gennobili for years starred in San Antonio? Where's he from? Joel Embiid is from Cameroon? I mean, when you look at stars that have blessed the NBA. When you look at the fabric of the NBA rosters, you see players from all over the world blessing rosters. That's why they can call themselves world champion, because the best that the world has to offer in the sport of basketball find themselves participating in NBA competition. No alliles. That's why. So I appreciate Team USA saying are we world champions? Now? Thank you very much for doing that. Now, let me get to know Allows specifically, because his stuff was crazy. Let's take this back and let's dial a clock back and understand how phenomenal he is. Because I'm not throwing any shade or no allows for his exploits or whatever. The guy is phenomenal, and I hope to see him in Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight doing the same thing. But he did promise, he did. He wasn't tending to have a clean sweep and a walk away with three gold medals in a one hundred to two hundred and the four by one hundred meter relay, and he only walked away with one and that was by a nose. I mean, ladies and gentlemen, nine point seven eight four seconds to be exact, to edge out Jamaican Kashane Thompson of Jamaica by five thousandths of a tick of the clock. Five thousands that's how close it was. He couldn't even celebrate for the first thirty seconds because they had to go back to the videotape and see had he not stretched his chest out in his nose out forward at the very last second, he had a lost. That's how close it was. But it was still a spectacular race, and he still did his thing, and I was cheating the morning. It was absolutely fantastic. But let's understand that closest one to two finishing a one hundred and a one hundred meta race since at least Moscow in nineteen eighty, or maybe even further, just looking at my notes back then, Alan Wells narrowly Britain's narrow Alan Wells narrowly beat Sylvio Lennard in an era when the electronic timers didn't even go down into the thousandths of a second. Now, Lives became the first American to win a Marquie event on Olympic tracks since Justin Gatelan did it in two thousand and four. Major props and credit to him for that. The nine point seven eighty four mark also marks a personal best for Lyles, who's been promising to add his own brand of excitement to track and certainly delivered this time around. We can't deny him for that. Okay, now again, he wasn't lion had a one hundred and two degree fever. That's what he had and he still won. Got a bronze medal in a two hundred meter relay, a two hundred meter race. We gotta give credit where credit is due. He was in no condition to participate in the four about one hundred meter race. We get that. And so this is what it is, and you just look at it. Botswana's Let's Seal Tobogo and American teammate Kenned Beeneric both edged him out. That's how he ended up with bronze. Want to give props where propters due to no allows. One of the best in the world, no doubt represented US admirably so deserves all of his props. And by the way, he wasn't the only one. At least forty athletes according to reports, including two in the USA sprinting no itslot and no allows of course, tested positive for COVID nineteen and other respiratory diseases at the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics, So we get what he was going through and he did it in major props to him. Having said all of that, when you're talking about USA basketball, for to begin with, why are you doing that? Why are you not paying attention to the fact that there's numerous athletes from across the world that are on the NBA level. Giannis and the Takunpo represents Greece. How did they do? Yo Kitchen represented Serbia? How he do when Bianna was in the gold medal game? Did they go home with gold? Rudy Gobert was there too, Shay Gilgers, Alexander Jamal Murray and those boys who was representing Team Canada. How did they do? I mean, everywhere you turn there were NBA players participating in France for the Olympics. How did they do? They ain't do so well? Did they? So I'm just saying, let's pay attention to it and give respect where respectors do. And by the way, I said, justin Gitlan is justin Gatland, my bad. So I'm just saying it. These are the these are kind of important things. It really really is. I just want you to think about that just for a second and just h absorb that. You know, allows celebrate your thing, dug do you. You ain't got to the point out stuff for nobody else. We see you got one goal. You probably woulda had three, but you got one, and we good with that cause we know you're great.
