Pro basketball star LeBron James is a four-time league MVP who has won four NBA championships (2024 stats). But according to an interview with USA Today, James was surprised how quickly the euphoria of success of wore off. James said:

What really got to me [when we won the NBA championship] was how short of a time it lasted. The championship lasts (he snaps his fingers) just like that. The confetti rains, you go in the locker room, pop the champagne, you do the media, you have the parade and then it's over. It's over. You're looking around, and everybody's back to normal. I was like, "Wow, that was an unbelievable 48 hours. I want it again." It was the best 48 hours of my life, and I needed that again … I have a drive that's burning inside of me, and I want to continue to be successful.
