VIDEO: LeBron James Showed Support for Alex Morgan and USWNT With Tea Sipping Celebration
By Jerry Trotta
The USWNT hoisted their second consecutive World Cup trophy on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over the Netherlands. Other than brief moments against the likes of Spain, France, and England, the adversity the U.S. faced was few and far between. Of course, however, the highlight of the competition, other than today's feat, was Alex Morgan's iconic celebration against England in the semifinals. Well, LeBron James was tuned in today, and when she made the iconic celebration, which LeBron popularized with his Kermit the Frog hat a few years prior.
Morgan and Co. were the victim of unexpected criticism after their 13-0 thrashing of Thailand in the opening fixture that featured goal celebrations after they reached double digits. Every pundit and hater subsequently claimed that they had to go out and win it all for all of their antics to be justified.
They talked the talk and walked the walk. Now, as LeBron points out, it's tea-sipping time.
