LeBron James was among the many star athletes who watched the US Women’s National Team capture their second consecutive World Cup championship on Sunday, and the four-time NBA MVP had one of the best reactions to the accomplishment.
Not long after the US defeated The Netherlands, LeBron posted a great video on his Instagram of him pretending to sip on a cup of tea.

Anyone who has followed the World Cup should immediately get the reference. Alex Morgan celebrated her goal against England in the semifinal by pretending to sip a cup of tea, which was an obvious shot at the British and their love for tea. The celebration became a major storyline, as one English player ripped her for it and Morgan later said the backlash she received would not have been the same for a male athlete.
It’s safe to say we know which side of the debate LeBron is on.
