LeBron James Reacts to Folarin Balogun Doing Silencer Celebration in Video After FIFA World Cup Goal

Folarin Balogun played the first half of the United States Men's National Team's round of 32 World Cup game against Bosnia-Herzegovina like a king on Wednesday, so it was only fitting he paid homage to one when he buried the opening goal into the back of the net.

After putting the Americans up 1-0 shortly before halftime, Balogun broke out LeBron James' signature silencer celebration, and the NBA star loved to see it:

The goal was well-deserved for Balogun, who scored another one earlier in the half that was called back for offside. He also battled up front and kept the pressure on the Bosnia-Herzegovina defense throughout the opening 45 minutes.

Balogun just missed yet another goal late in stoppage time in the first half when his shot just sailed above the bar.

It was more of the same for the striker, who scored two goals in the Americans' first World Cup game against Paraguay.

He has been a consistent threat up front and has overwhelmed defenders with his combination of strength and finesse with the ball in his feet.

Which isn't that unsimilar from the way James dominates on the basketball court.
