LeBron James and Liverpool FC have something in common: a winning mentality.
The four-time NBA champion has been a minority stakeholder in the club for years, and he never misses a chance to show his support.
Whether it’s rocking Liverpool gear or engaging with the club on social media, James makes it clear where his football loyalty lies.
On Saturday night, he made another statement, but this time, off the court.
James was ruled out of the Lakers’ game against the Indiana Pacers due to left ankle soreness.
But instead of staying home, he showed up in style, wearing a grey Nike LFC tracksuit.
The official LFC account on X posted about it, and he reposted it, showing pride in his connection to the club.
The Lakers, riding a strong run of form, needed to step up in his absence.
And they did.
They secured a 124-117 win, proving they could handle business even without their leader.
Still, James remained a presence, supporting his team while quietly reminding fans of his Liverpool connection.

James wasn’t just making fashion statements on Saturday, he was continuing a season that proves age is just a number.
Even in his 22nd NBA season, he is putting up elite numbers, 24.5 points per game on 51.6% shooting, 9.0 assists, and 7.8 rebounds.
Before sitting out against Indiana, James had delivered one of his best performances of the season.
Against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, he dropped 42 points on 14-for-25 shooting, grabbed 17 rebounds, and dished out eight assists.
It was his first 40-point game since turning 40 in December.
His dominance at this stage of his career is rare.
While most players slow down, James continues to defy expectations.
The Lakers have won 11 of their last 13 games, climbing to No?
5 in the Western Conference standings.
James’ leadership has been key, and even when he’s not playing, his presence is felt, whether through his impact on the court, his influence in the locker room, or simply by rocking an LFC tracksuit that gets the whole sports world talking.
