Last year, Noah Lyles initiated to keep picking on the NBA, and coming to mid-2024, he continues to do the same. In 2023, he questioned the ‘world champion tag of NBA winners, which later turned into a massive controversy. But now, he has directly taken fire to one legend of the NBA, LeBron James. The common scale between these two off-court statements from Noah Lyles is still based on comparing the performances. Yet, this time, Noah Lyles looks to be far more vicious.
In a recent friendly conversation with Raymond Parral, the prominence of the NBA league came up again. And Noah Lyles proved himself standing in the same position. In fact, Raymond did the due in bringing a statement where he mentioned that an NBA player had once said that he was much closer to LeBron than an ‘ordinary Joe’ to him. Subsequently, he asked Noah what was his rating on the gap between an average person and him and the same between an average Joe and LeBron James.
The sprinter counted himself high and his comment, “I’m the third fastest person to live. So you are definitely closer to getting to LeBron than me” displayed the fact that why he is so uncommon among sportspersons globally.
