Olympic Gold Medalist Calls Out NBA For Calling Themselves "World Champs"

The Lonious Monk said:
However, you have to acknowledge that even as recently as the 90s, pretty much any NBA team that made the playoffs would probably have beaten any national team from countries outside of the US. So NBA players have still traditionally always faced the best the world has to offer.

Y'all going to have to get over the fact that doesn't mean you're world champs.

Ands since we won gold in 7 out of the last 8 Olympics with NBA players I'd say that's a good enough reason for dude to kindly shut the fuck up.

Um, @GNS what's with the "cap"??? The US Olympic Men's Basketball team has only lost out on a gold medal once since we were allowed to let NBA players run it starting with 1992's Dream Team. On top of that, we've won the gold 16 out of 19 Olympic Games since 1936.

This is very easily verifiable.

It's not factually incorrect it's just besides the point.
A lot of y'all seems to be just going out your way to justify counter points.

The dude said nothing wrong and it's how the world has felt for eons.

You can't win a domestic league and say you're world champs man. It's silly asl. No matter how good them players are and how they could dominate whoever you're not world champs.
 
When has the NBA called themselves world champs though.

It's NBA Champs
World Series Champs
Stanley Cup Champs
Super Bowl Champs.

I can't remember ever hearing any of those call themselves world champs
 
The most abused group of people in this country are always the first to defend it and violently so.


this who niggas defending.

Bet niggas ain’t respond to Jacksonville yet but got all the smoke in a log cabin for a World Champion.

The NBA DOESN'T call themselves "world champions" tho. However, groups of NBA players absolutely HAVE been able to call themselves "world champions" via the Olympic games.

What he said was factually incorrect.

We all watch basketball my brother, to say we’ve never heard or seen NBA players referred to as world champions in an official capacity is just bad faith.
 
If I’m the big 4 US sports 🏈 🏀⚾️🏒 I’m leaning all the way in on World Champions now


Tell Lyles get it back in blood

Man this dumb as hell. We are the World Champs. There. Its done.

Don't like it, beat us in the Fibas. Ya can't. How about the Olympics? Oh wait, ya can't do that either.

Whoever wins the best league in the world, is the best in the world. Boo hoo if you don't like it, tough titty. The audacity to make this an arrogance thing when everyone knows damn well who the best are.
 
  • Japan won the World Baseball Classic
  • Huston Astros won the world series
The MLB is the best league in the world with the best players. So who are the world champions?
