Stuck at work while everyone else is partying at Coachella? Don't worry, even basketball superstars know how you feel.

After his Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the first round of the NBA playoffs, LeBron James expressed some serious FOMO to a reporter from ESPN:

Sure, trying to win a second straight championship is great, but so is wearing flower crowns and watching Lorde.

Also, LeBron is a huge Kendrick Lamar fan -- he even got an early listen to his new album DAMN --so you know he would have enjoyed that.

Just think. If King James wasn't so good and his team missed the playoffs, he could be chilling in the California desert right now, getting ready for the second weekend of Coachella.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
