For those of you not on twitter, “NBACentral” is the biggest NBA news aggregator on twitter. They are constantly “going viral” for posting NBA/Basketball related news, quotes, and clips.
“Centel” is a meme page that is made to look like Central but is used to post fake and satirical quotes and news it’s absolutely absurd stuff that people somehow fall for all the time, causing these fake news posts to go viral.
Brunson is essentially saying that Noah’s opinion is so ridiculous, that he can’t even believe that it’s a real quote.
Noah Lyles seems very cocky. I get it, he’s the fastest guy in the world rn, but doesn’t hurt to still be humble. Also track and field is notorious for high barrier to entry for sponsors and endorsements, but I do think he deserves them. Just going about it the wrong way imo.
The problem with Lyles is that he thinks having the ‘fastest man’ title gives him more value as a human being. In reality, he’s just an asshole who can run fast in a straight line.
