JAKARTA - Los Angeles Lakers superstar and owner of a small Liverpool stake, LeBron James celebrated the Reds' Premier League victory.
Liverpool ended a 30-year wait to be crowned English champions thanks to Manchester City's 1-2 defeat to Chelsea on the evening of Thursday, June 25.
Jurgen Klopp's men became the first Anfield team to claim the league crown since 1990 with seven games remaining this season.
Three-time NBA champion James, who bought a minority stake in Liverpool in 2011, reacted to the club's success via social media.
James tweeted: "PREMIER CHAMPIONS LEAGUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO @LFC #YNWA."
PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S GO 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 @LFC # YNWA ♥ ️ 🙏🏾💪🏾🏆👑

Liverpool - who have won 28 of their 31 league games in 2019-20 - are celebrating yet another major trophy after winning last season's Champions League.
Evidently, this is part of the smart business of the owners of Fenway Sports Group, who took over Liverpool in 2010.
The main owner of the Reds, John Henry wrote via Twitter this victory is very certain for Liverpool.
This was a season for the ages and for the faithful of Liverpool Football Club. It has been an incredible year of magnificent achievement culminating tonight in capturing the Premier League title.

"It has been an extraordinary year of extraordinary accomplishment which culminated in tonight's Premier League title," wrote Henry.
"The world has witnessed this club's intense determination on the pitch for every match - the preparation, determination and talent of those who amass perhaps the greatest league performance ever in the history of any country.
"This is in addition to winning European championships, Super Cups and world championships - this total achievement has provided respite and joy to so many people in a year filled with so many tragedies. LFC has made the game more beautiful than ever.
"It said, 'We are Liverpool.' You, the fans are Liverpool in every way and you continue to push the club forward - a historic club that is making history again. "
