After Liverpool clinched the 2024–25 Premier League title in dominant fashion, NBA superstar and Liverpool minority owner LeBron James sent a heartfelt message congratulating the club and especially acknowledging star forward Mohamed Salah. James, a long-time admirer of the club and a passionate supporter, took the opportunity to publicly celebrate the team’s success in a video played during Liverpool’s end-of-season celebration.
In his message, James said:
“Congratulations to the champions of the English Premier League, once again bringing home another trophy. You know it is always special to do it with a group of guys that you love. It is super special.”
He made a point to salute Liverpool’s leaders, adding:
“Shout out to the captains, Virgil and Mo, salute to you brothers. Continue to lead, continue to strive for greatness and always know — You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
James’ words struck a chord with Liverpool fans, especially given Mohamed Salah’s remarkable season. Salah was at the heart of Liverpool’s title charge, recording an extraordinary 29 goals and 18 assists, making him the Premier League Player of the Season. He also claimed both the Golden Boot and the Playmaker Award, becoming the first player in Premier League history to win all three individual honors in the same season.
Salah’s influence extended beyond the stats. His leadership, consistency, and big-game performances defined Liverpool’s campaign. Under the guidance of manager Arne Slot and with the support of experienced leaders like Salah and Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool reclaimed the league title in emphatic style, finishing ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal.
LeBron James’ tribute is not just a gesture from a stakeholder—it reflects his genuine connection to the club and recognition of Salah’s greatness. His message added a global spotlight to Liverpool’s celebration and highlighted the mutual respect between elite athletes across different sports.
As Salah continues to build his legacy at Anfield, the admiration from figures like LeBron James only reinforces his status as a modern football icon
