LeBron, by the way, missed two key free throws with his team down 103-104 and just 4.2 seconds left in overtime. Later that night, he dealt with the sting of defeat the same way we all do: by posting an intimate selfie to Instagram along with a motivational screed about overcoming adversity:

Looking in the mirror tonight after a tough lost of my part like You’re your biggest challenge, competition, drive, obstacle, motivation, etc so it’s nothing u haven’t seen before! Back in the lab tomorrow to continue the drive to striving to be the Greatest I’ve ever seen! #StriveForGreatness >A photo posted by LeBron James (@kingjames) on Mar 1, 2015 at 8:32pm PSTLong live The King.
