Seems not every American thinks the winners of their sports leagues should be called "World Champions"


But he's got some entertaining replies to the tweet...

Fair play to him for saying what many outside of the US has been saying for years. Same with the World Series in Baseball. Bar one team in Canada, the rest of them are US based teams!

I'd like to think they all know it's just a self-aggrandising title for a domestic league but it's lovely to hear a high-profile sportsman say it

Aaron Gordon - a fairly slow (mentally and physically) Denver Nuggets player - saying that he would "smoke Lyles in the 200m" was pretty funny. These guys live on boasting and bragging, it's part of the culture.
