LeBron James Celebrates Liverpool's Champions League Win With Overjoyed All-Caps Tweet
By Sam Dunn
LeBron James isn't just a soccer fan. He isn't just a Liverpool FC fan, either-- he actually owns 2% of the club. So when the mighty Reds take the pitch, he's literally invested, and when they prevailed over Tottenham Hotspur to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy for the first time since 2005, he was right on time with a spirited tweet celebrating the occasion.
YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE‼️‼️‼️‼️ #WEARELIVERPOOL❤️ CONGRATULATIONS MEN AND ANYONE THAT HAS ANY AFFILIATION WITH THE CLUB!! @LFC ?

Well said. You know it's serious when a fan spells out the entire slogan rather than simply going with "#YNWA."
The Lakers mega-star isn't exactly hurting for cash, as he's an iconic brand in and of himself. But if he ever decided he wanted to part with his stake in the famous English club, he'd be cashing in to a serious degree, particularly in light of what the initial investment was estimated to be worth.
Liverpool wins it all..... add another ring to LeBron’s resume. LeBron has a 2% stake in Liverpool which was valued at $6.5M. Easily worth $45M+ today pic.twitter.com/nJzWSxYbvC
