Conor McGregor's rise and rise in the UFC has not gone unnoticed by other sports stars outside of the world of mixed martial arts, and now it seems that his influence is being felt by one of basketball's biggest stars.
LeBron James hasn't had the best week, after his Cavaliers side were well beaten by Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, but it seems he's only going to use that as inspiration to work even harder.
Posting on his Instagram on Wednesday, the two-time NBA champion quoted Conor McGregor, and shared a picture of the UFC featherweight champion, identifying with fighter's claim that he's "obsessed" with his sport and is always striving for greatness.
I'm obsessed!! Straight up #StriveForGreatness #AndThatsWhyImNeverSatisfied
