3 a.m.! James tweeted to commemorate: My heart is with his family YNWA Jota 🙏
Liverpool striker Jota died in a traffic accident at the age of 28.
At 3:11 am local time in Los Angeles, Lakers star James, a small shareholder of Liverpool, tweeted to mourn Jota: "In this difficult time, my heart is with his family! May you all be guided and blessed! You will never walk alone, Jota! (YNWA JOTA!)"
In 2011, James reached a commercial cooperation with Liverpool's parent company Fenway Sports Group, and acquired a 2% stake in Liverpool's Club for US$6.5 million, becoming the first professional athlete to invest in Liverpool. James has appeared on NBA games and social media many times in Liverpool jerseys.
