Knicks' Josh Hart Defends Noah Lyles Amid His Controversial NBA Comment

New York Knicks ' Josh Hart often uses his platform to voice his opinions, and he didn't mix words on Olympic gold medal winner Noah Lyles , who won the 100-meter race by a photo finish.

Hart came to Lyles defense shortly after he won the race amid the controversy he had when he made unpopular remarks about the NBA when they label themselves as "world champions." Although NBA fans have still shown their lack of interest in Lyles.

"Lol, na he an Olympic gold medalist. He can talk for life." Hart said.

A few hours prior, Hart did make a tweet that many speculated on that said, "I'm a hater just so you'll know." Nonetheless, you cannot deny the talent that Lyles brings to the table, and he just won his first ever gold medal.

Lyles will compete in the 200-meter as well on Monday and will look to be the first runner to win the 100-meter and the 200-meter since Carl Lewis in 1984.
