Noah Lyles Tells Drake Go Home I'm Not Backing Down On NBA Players Not Being World Champions

Noah Lyles track star won three golds (100m, 200m, 4x100m relay) at the World Athletic Games in Budapest, Hungary last month and following the efforts he ruffled a ton of feathers when he said NBA players shouldn't get to call themselves champs of the globe like he could "World champion of what?" Lyles said, reminding those in attendance that NBA players only perform in the U.S. and Canada. "The United States?!" But Lyles made it clear he's not budging from his opinion though he did clarify that he loves what the NBA's doing, and he wants track and field to follow their model. I do think that the point was lost," he told us. "At the end of the day, it was talking about how I see what we do to our national championships I just want the same thing for our world champions. And we're a sport where we're bringing in the most medals every year and it's like nobody even knows because they don't pay attention. Lyles brushed off the Drakes criticism of him saying, "Just go home, buddy. Go home."
