Kiké Hernández made an unprovoked shot at Noah Lyles after Dodgers won the World Series

It’s been over a year since sprinter and three-time Olympic medalist Noah Lyles wondered why the winner of a championship in the NBA is called a world champion. But since then, Lyles has faced a lot of backlash from athletes in the NBA and even some other leagues.

Now, an MLB player has joined the conversation and fired back at Lyles. Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Kiké Hernandez, fresh off winning the World Series with a 7-6 win over the New York Yankees, took an unprovoked shot at Lyles in an interview during the clubhouse celebration the team.

Dodgers reporter Blake Harris posted a video of the moment to his account on X (formerly Twitter).

“World Series champions,” Hernandez said. “Suck it, Noah Lyles.”

Several high-profile NBA players, most notably two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant and eight-time All-Star Damian Lillard, have since fired back at Lyles. Even the United States national basketball team, after winning the gold medal in Paris last summer, made a joke about Lyles with a tweet.

But if anyone was going to do it from the MLB, and specifically from the Dodgers, it would be Hernandez, as this isn’t his first mic moment in an interview.
