Basketball star LeBron James publicly congratulates Folarin Balogun after the U.S. World Cup match against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday. In a 2-0 victory in Santa Clara, Balogun scores twice, and on each goal he performs James’s well-known “Silencer” celebration. His first attempt is initially ruled offside, but he later nets again as the U.S. advances to the round of 16. James posts on X, writing “THE (Silencer) HAS (Arrived) at the World Cup!” and accompanies the message with a shushing emoji and a plane landing emoji, referencing the dance move Balogun copied during the scoring plays. Coverage across outlets focuses on James’s reaction to the celebration and the context of the match result, emphasizing that Balogun’s goals and the tribute to James’s signature move occur during the same shutout performance. Both reports describe the U.S. win over Bosnia and Herzegovina and link Balogun’s second goal celebration to James’s praise online.
