NBA Superstar LeBron James has shown his support for the USWNT after the team faced criticism for how they advanced into the knockout stage of the Women’s World Cup
NBA superstar LeBron James was spotted in Canada over the weekend wearing a U.S. Women’s National Team jersey ahead of the team’s knockout-stage match against Sweden on Sunday.
James is a dedicated supporter of the USWNT, often sharing about their success on social media. In particular, James was vocal during their victorious 2019 World Cup campaign.
In February, when James became the all-time leading scorer in the NBA, he received congratulations from many notable athletes, including USWNT star Alex Morgan, who shared her good wishes on social media. Morgan was also the first subject of the Disney documentary series “Becoming,” produced by James.
The Los Angeles Lakers forward has always shown a strong passion for soccer, most notably with his ownership in the English Premier League club Liverpool. James also witnessed Lionel Messi’s MLS debut with Inter Miami in July and warmly embraced the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup champion before the game.
