U.S. basketball player Devin Booker watched Noah Lyles win Olympic gold in the 100 meters. That doesn't mean he's changed his mind about the sprinter's NBA comments.
Devin Booker still doesn't agree with Noah Lyles. It's been nearly a year since the U.S. sprinter drew the ire of Booker and several other NBA players by ridiculing the practice of referring to the winner of that league's title as the 'world champion.' 'World champion of what? The United States?' Lyles said in a mocking tone during an Aug. 25, 2023, news conference at the track and field world championships in Budapest, Hungary.
And now? “I still don’t agree with the comment,” Booker said. “I feel like all the best talent in the world is in the NBA, and this is coming from an Olympic gold medalist that being an NBA champion is probably harder to do.” Booker has spent all nine of his NBA seasons with the Suns, who have never won a championship , so he has some perspective on the matter. But Booker also acknowledged that he understands where Lyles was coming from.
