Noah Lyles takes shot at Tyreek Hill after 60m final win at New Balance Indoor Grand Prix
Noah Lyles took a shot at Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill after winning the 60-meter final at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix on Sunday. After the race, the track star pulled out a sign that read “Tyreek could never.”
This led to a reaction from Hill. “Get a load of this guy,” Hill wrote on X with a crying laughing face emoji.
The latest move from Lyles continues a battle between himself and Hill. Following the Paris Olympics last summer, Hill said he would beat Lyles in a race. “I would beat Noah Lyles,” Hill said on Up & Adams at the time, per ESPN. “I’m not going to beat him by a lot, but I would beat Noah Lyles.”
Hill was responding to the comments Lyles made after the 2023 World Athletic Championships in Budapest, Hungary when he criticized NBA Finals winners for calling themselves “world champions.” The Olympic gold medalist said, “You know what hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have ‘world champion’ on their head. World champion of what? The United States? Don’t get me wrong — I love the U.S., at times, but that ain’t the world. …There ain’t no flags in the NBA. We got to do more. We got to be presented to the world.”

But all I know is your football season is over, you ain’t got no excuse now.”
