Knicks' Josh Hart Admits to Rooting Against Noah Lyles During Paris Olympics

Hart's comments on a podcast reveal lingering NBA resentment over Lyles' 'world champion' remarks.

Josh Hart expressed his desire for American sprinter Noah Lyles to lose during the Paris Olympics on the 'Roommates Show' podcast.
The NBA community's disdain for Lyles stems from his controversial comments about NBA champions not being 'world champions.'
Lyles won gold in the 100-meter sprint but settled for bronze in the 200-meter event after contracting COVID-19.
Hart's teammate, Jalen Brunson, tried to dissuade him from making the comments but ultimately encouraged him to continue.
Despite the resentment, Hart acknowledged Lyles' achievements and respected his Olympic success.
