Noah Lyles’ Continuing NBA Beef Makes Shocking Claim About Nikola Jokic After Tyreek Hill: ‘Don’t Know Who That Is’
Noah Lyles reignites his NBA feud with a bold claim about Nikola Jokic following his clash with Tyreek Hill, fueling the ongoing controversy and sparking intense debate.
Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles, who caused a stir last year by questioning the legitimacy of the NBA’s “world champion” title, has reignited controversy by claiming he doesn’t know who Nikola Jokić is. Lyles made this surprising remark during an appearance on Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson’s podcast, Nightcap, saying, “I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know who that is.”
Nikola Jokić, a two-time MVP, is widely considered among the best players in the NBA today.
Excelling in scoring, rebounding, and playmaking, Jokić averages 26.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 9 assists per game this season. His unique skill set allows him to control the game’s pace like a point guard in a center’s body, making him exceptionally tough to defend.
In response, Sharpe defended the NBA, highlighting that it features some of the best players in the world, including the three-time MVP Jokić. However, Lyles’ dismissive reaction was unexpected.
Lyles also recently claimed he didn’t know who Tyreek Hill was during an NBC Sports interview. This comment followed Hill’s challenge to race Lyles, with Hill expressing confidence that he could beat Lyles over a shorter distance of 50 yards instead of 100 meters.
Tyreek Hill defended NBA stars, including Nikola Jokić, in response to sprinter Noah Lyles’ comments claiming he didn’t know who Jokić was. Hill criticized Lyles for his remarks about NBA players referring to themselves as “world champions,” suggesting that Lyles should concentrate on track and field instead
