Arr, me hearties! Gilbert Arenas didst scold Rashad McCants when they parleyed about Noah Lyles, the swift-footed scallywag, who dared speak of NBA buccaneers dubbing themselves "world champions." Avast!
Noah Lyles has faced criticism from current and former NBA players after questioning why they call themselves "world champions." Gilbert Arenas, in particular, had a spicy reaction to Lyles' comments on his podcast. Arenas pointed out that many professional teams overseas are filled with has-beens and wouldn't stand a chance against NBA teams. When Arenas asked Rashad McCants, who played in Lebanon, if his former team could beat the Denver Nuggets, McCants said they had a chance. This prompted Arenas to unleash a fiery response, stating that no professional team overseas could defeat an NBA team. He emphasized that when looking at international teams, they should be viewed as a whole and not just the national teams that win championships. McCants defended his belief that any team he plays on has a chance to win, despite not winning an NBA title himself. Lyles' initial criticism came after winning three gold medals at the world championships and questioning why NBA players call themselves world champions when they only represent the United States. Lyles believes that the NBA should do more to showcase players from all over the world and be a true representation of the global basketball community.
