LeBron James has missed the playoffs this season, despite a fantastic individual year from him. He has shouldered the scoring load for the Lakers all year, but unfortunately, they were unable to even put themselves in a play-in tournament spot prior to the end of the regular season.
Inside The NBA is a show that covers games in the NBA. The show features former legends of the game, such as Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal. Most recently, Charles Barkley jokingly asked LeBron James to join him on the show, claiming that he has “nothing else to do” anyway.
Hey LeBron, I asked you like 3 years ago. Why don’t you come on the show, man. You ain’t got nothing else to do. LeBron I’m begging you. Please come on the show. You ain’t got nothing to do right now… Come here for two nights. Bron, Chuck is begging you to come on Inside two nights.
There is no doubt that it would be entertaining for fans to see LeBron James join the crew on Inside The NBA. His analysis would likely be unparalleled, and he also has a fairly good sense of humor. It is clear that Charles Barkley and the crew want him on as well, and it remains to be seen if he responds to Barkley’s pleas.
As of right now though, LeBron James’ focus should likely be on next season. The Los Angeles Lakers will be looking to be a more competitive team, and GM Rob Pelinka has already stated that the team is going to “look under every stone” to find avenues to get better.
Hopefully, we see LeBron James be back in the postseason next year. It is definitely a different feel without him, but perhaps this playoffs will give a lot of other stars an opportunity to shine.
