SKOR.id - “Salah satu hal paling menyakitkan adalah menonton Final NBA dan mendengar mereka menggunakan istilah ‘juara dunia,’ ujar Noah Lyles. 

Komentar itu diutarakan pelari asal AS tersebut setelah memenangkan gelar dunia 200 meter untuk ketiga kalinya di kejuaraan atletik dunia di Hungaria.

Total, Lyles memiliki enam gelar dunia dari cabang 100 meter, 200 meter dan relay. 

Dalam sebuah konferensi pers pasca kemenangan, Lyles mengkritik penggunaan istilah “Juara dunia” yang disematkan ke tim pemenang NBA, liga basket yang hanya terdiri dari tim Amerika Serikat dan Kanada.

“Jangan salah, saya cinta Amerika Serikat—tidak setiap saat tentunya—tapi Amerika bukan representasi dunia.”  

“Di sini hampir setiap negara bertarung, dan memamerkan bendera untuk menunjukkan bahwa perwakilan mereka ada. Di NBA mana ada bendera?” ujar Lyles. 

Sudah bisa diduga, pernyataan Lyles memancing respons dari banyak bintang NBA. 

“Coba tolong dong bantu saudara kita yang satu ini,” ujar juara NBA dua kali, Kevin Durant di Instagram. 

Pemain NBA lainnya seperti Damian Lillard, Devin Booker dan Draymond Green ikut mengkritik komentar Lyles tersebut. 

Austin Rivers dan Tyler Herro mengatakan bahwa NBA adalah liga basket terbaik di dunia berisikan pemain terbaik di dunia, dan oleh karenanya layak menggunakan istilah “juara dunia.

Tidak hanya pemain, komentator olahraga asal AS, Stephen A Smith juga turut bersuara. 

“NBA punya 120 pemain dari 40 negara dan 6 benua musim lalu,” ujarnya di sebuah program di ESPN, sebelum menyebut komentar Lyles, “bebal.” 

“Kurang global apalagi itu? Pemain internasional alih-alih bermain di negaranya sendiri, ingin datang ke NBA karena ini liga basket terbaik di planet.” 

Namun, tidak sedikit juga yang setuju dengan pemikiran Lyles.

Sprinter asal AS, Fred Kerley mengunggah sebuah cuitan sederhana, “National Basketball Association.” menekankan bahwa NBA adalah kompetisi tingkat nasional, bukan international. 

Atlet trek hurdle asal AS, Rai Benjamin dengan santainya bercuit, “NBA panas nih,” disusul emoticon tertawa. 

Video interview Noah Lyles tersebut sedang viral dan sudah ditonton jutaan kali.
