American sprinting star Noah Lyles certainly isn’t afraid to speak his mind.

At the end of last year, Lyles faced a lot of backlash from NBA fans in particular after he threw some shade at basketball players for labeling themselves as “world champions” when in reality, they only compete against teams in the United States.

These comments weren’t well-received by many fans, but after Lyles won the Olympic gold medal in the 100m dash in thrilling fashion on Sunday evening, the naysayers didn’t have much room to talk.

Lyles captivated the sporting world with his photo finish in the 100m final, beating out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson by five one-thousandths of a second to win the gold medal. Team USA’s Fred Kerley finished in third place with the Bronze medal.

After the race went final, and Lyles could rightfully claim himself as the fastest man in the world, and a “world champion,” his comments about NBA players have resurfaced.

Of course, all of America should celebrate when Team USA walks away with a gold medal, but you can bet that there are a select few NBA fans who are slightly frustrated with the result.

In the end, Lyles will laugh his way to the top of the podium.
