NEW YORK, NEW YORK: There has been much controversy surrounding Olympic Gold medalist Noah Lyles. Tyreek Hill thinks dusting him in a race will finally keep him quiet.
It started last year when Lyles claimed that the NBA can’t claim to be world champions. When asked about the Nuggets winning the NBA Finals last June, he questioned why the NBA is considered World Champions. What hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have ‘World Champion’ on their head,” Lyles said. “World champion of what?”
Lyles’ comment caused a lot of controversy and started much talk. Lyles didn’t stop either, even leveling with the NFL, claiming they should not be considered World Champions either. Recently, NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill tweeted on X, challenging Lyles to race this past Sunday. This is after Tyreek said that he could beat Lyles in a race; after saying he wasn’t impressed with Lyles’ performance in the Paris Olympics. “I would beat Noah Lyles,” he said. “I’m not going to beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles. ”
Lyles called out Hill on Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson’s podcast, “Nightcap”, which led to Hill tweeting on X, officially challenging Lyles to a 50-yard dash. Lyles said we would accept Hill’s challenge, but it would have to be a “legit” race. Although Hill says he would beat Lyles in a 50-yard dash, Lyles wants a legit official 100-meter race.
