Noah Lyles has reacted to the NBA stars who clapped back at him and were at the Stade de France to watch him compete in the men’s 100m where he emerged champion.
Lyles won the race in a time of 9.79 ahead of Kishane Thompson who finished milliseconds later behind him, clocking 9.79. Fred Kerley completed the podium in a time of 9.81 seconds.
The American Sprint King noted that he has never had any relationship with any of the players and noted that he was very happy to have them go and watch him.
Lyles added that his statements about the NBA were taken out of context. At the 2023 World Championships, Lyles was irked by the idea of the NBA referring to themselves at the World Championships.
