NBA icon LeBron James sent a heartfelt message to Liverpool’s dressing room after the club celebrated winning the Premier League title, marking their 20th top-flight championship. The 40-year-old basketball star, a long-time fan of the Anfield club, shared a video message shown to the squad during their celebrations.
As reported by the Liverpool ECHO, the video was played for the players as they marked their title victory, which was secured last month against Tottenham Hotspur with four games remaining. The team then took part in a trophy parade across the city on Monday.
James, who initially held a minority stake in Liverpool, later became part of the club’s ownership group, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), along with his business partner Maverick Carter. His investment and continued support have solidified his place as a committed fan of the club.
“Congratulations to the champions of the English Premier League—another trophy brought home!” James said in the video. “It’s always special when you achieve something great with a group you truly care about. That’s what makes it even more meaningful.”
In his message, James specifically acknowledged team leaders Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, praising their leadership. However, he made no mention of current vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is reportedly set to join Real Madrid.
“A big salute to the captains—Virgil and Mo,” James continued. “Keep leading, keep chasing greatness, and always remember—You’ll Never Walk Alone. Go Reds. Love you all.”
James has previously been seen wearing Liverpool FC gear and has expressed his support for the club on numerous occasions. Following a serious incident on Water Street shortly after the parade, in which a car crash left multiple people injured, James also shared his concern.
“OMG!!! WTH. My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected who attended the @LFC Premier League trophy parade today! #YNWA,” James wrote on social media.
Merseyside Police later confirmed that seven individuals remained hospitalized after the crash, which occurred on May 26. Authorities revealed that a total of 79 people had reported injuries and were now part of the ongoing investigation.
A 53-year-old man from West Derby was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving, and driving under the influence of drugs. Police have received permission to continue holding him for further questioning, with custody extended until the following day.
