James tweet was not just a simple congratulation, but a reminder of what it means to finally reach the top after a long struggle.
With the phrase “That first feeling is incredible!”, the King evoked memories of his own journey to success, his first NBA championship in 2012, which marked his life and career.
Resilience as a bridge between two champions
Fleetwood had to wait through 164 tournaments before lifting his first PGA Tour trophy. In Atlanta, under pressure and with elite rivals such as Patrick Cantlay and Scottie Scheffler chasing him, the Englishman remained calm.
Not even the most intimidating obstacles, like the 200 yards of water at the 15th hole, could break his determination.
A golfer long accustomed to criticism and doubts about his ability to close out big tournaments, Fleetwood finally shattered the barrier.
That perseverance resonated with LeBron James, an athlete who knows what it means to carry enormous expectations and still triumph.
It was no coincidence that he recalled his own path, from early NBA Finals defeats to his crowning achievement with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, overcoming a historic 1–3 deficit against Golden State.
For LeBron James, Fleetwood success is a mirror of his own story: one of resilience, patience, and ultimate glory.
LeBron James, always attentive to sporting legacy
This episode once again confirms that LeBron James not only lives out his own legacy but also recognizes and celebrates that of others.
Just a few days ago, he praised Derrick Rose, following the announcement that the Chicago Bulls will retire his number 1 jersey. A gesture that shows LeBron’s sensitivity toward those who have left a lasting mark on the sport.
