Wait, What? Is LeBron James' Shadow a Conor McGregor Doppelganger?

LeBron James is no stranger to changing his look, and these days, he's rocking a big, bushy beard. While that wouldn't normally turn heads (at least, not any more so than his nerd-chic phase), Twitter user @ajlja55 noticed the Cleveland Cavalier's shadow at a press event seemed reminiscent of someone else. Ballislife.com made the interesting observation he now shares a nearly identical profile with UFC lightweight champion and sometimes boxer Conor McGregor.

Don't believe it? McGregor himself seems to think so.

Is this a weird coincidence? Or a powerful metaphor for the kind of athletic success McGregor is striving for? You decide.
