Video: Noah Lyles disses Tyreek Hill after Dolphins WR says he would win in a race | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

Olympic 100-meter dash champion Noah Lyles snubbed Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill on Friday after Hill recently said he would beat Lyles in a race.

In an interview with NBC Sports (h/t FinsXtra), Lyles pretended he didn’t know who Hill was when he was mentioned, saying, “What’s the Cheetah guy from football?” I can’t remember his name.” What is the name of the football player who thinks he has a quick name?

Lyles appeared to respond to Hill’s statement in a recent interview Up & Adams that he would “beat” Noah Lyles in a race:

Per Chuck Schilken des Los Angeles TimesUsing the NBA as an example, Lyles suggested that the NBA champions should not be referred to as “world champions” since they do not actually compete against teams from around the world:

“You know what hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have the ‘World Champion’ in their head. World champion of what? The United States? Don’t get me wrong. I love the USA – at times – but that’s not the world. We have almost every country out here fighting, thriving and showing that there are no flags in the NBA. We have to do more. We need to be presented to the world.

When Adams Hill brought up Lyles’ comments, he said: “Noah Lyles can’t do anything after what just happened to him. Coming out and pretending to be sick seems like horseradish to me.”

Hill was referring to the fact that Lyles announced after competing in the 200-meter dash at the Olympics that he had tested positive for COVID-19.

Lyles was the favorite to win the 200m after winning the 100m, but he struggled badly and had to settle for bronze behind Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo and American Kenny Bednarek.

He appeared exhausted after the race and had to be transported off the track in a wheelchair. A short time later, Lyles said on the NBC broadcast that he was COVID-19 positive, and USA Track & Field later confirmed the diagnosis.

Although Lyles may not have been at his best in Paris, he still left the Olympics with two medals and became the first American since Justin Gatlin in 2004 to win the 100m at the Olympics.

Hill has incredible speed himself and may be the fastest player in the NFL, but it would be a huge surprise if he came close to beating an Olympic track star like Lyles in a race.
