Basketball superstar LeBron James congratulated Folarin Balogun on scoring for the United States in their World Cup victory on Wednesday after the striker emulated his trademark “Silencer” celebration.
Balogun twice put the ball in the net in the 2-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, whipping out James’s signature dance move each time, though his first effort was ruled offside.
“THE (Silencer) HAS (Arrived) at the World Cup!” posted James on X, using a shushing emoji and another of a plane landing.
“Helluva goal there Young (King)!” added James, whose nickname is King James, using another emoji featuring a crown.
