For only the second time since 2005, LeBron James is not taking part in the NBA playoffs. Surprisingly, both of LeBron’s playoff misses have come since he joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018.
With no playoff basketball, James seemingly has a lot of free time to recover, get his body right, and prepare himself for the next season. But James also found the time to interact with his fans on Twitter.
LeBron James did a Q and A on Twitter, giving fans and his followers to ask him the questions they have always wanted answers to.
There were several questions asked of LeBron, including what his favorite movies and rap album are, how long he plans on playing in the NBA, which players he would team up with to take on Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the best current players still in the playoffs, and many more.
Someone once told me "Experience is the best teacher in life". They were right!

Losing in the finals to Dallas after playing like 💩💩!! I hit the reset button, went back to the basics, worked on things in my game I needed to get better at so the defense couldn't just sit on 1 thing. Hours & hours & hours everyday in the off season on it. Came back 🔒 in! 🤷🏾♂️

LeBron was asked questions by numerous fans. Even Tom Brady asked LeBron which one of them would win if they played a shootout in ice hockey.
James also picked the best players in the NBA that are still in the playoffs, pointing to Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, Jimmy Butler, Jayson Tatum, and Klay Thompson as the stars who are shining in the playoffs.
James was clearly trying to have some fun with his fans, and also keep himself entertained as there was no playoff basketball last night. LeBron and the rest of the NBA will be looking forward to the Conference Finals beginning tomorrow.
LeBron will be rooting for the Heat against the Celtics, as he played for the Heat during his prime and won 2 NBA championships. In fact, what many consider to be
LeBron James’ greatest game ever came against the Boston Celtics in 2012, when he scored 45 points while facing elimination.
