NBA superstar LeBron James promises he will never miss the playoffs again, stating it hurts to sit back at home and watch the games.

In his 19-year-old career, this is the fourth time that LeBron James has missed the postseason. The Lakers superstar has made ten trips to the NBA Finals in his career, out of which eight have been consecutive. During this course, LBJ managed to win four championships and was the Finals MVP each time.

Unfortunately, the 2021-22 season is one of those rare seasons where James failed to make the playoffs. It was a tumultuous year for the King, who played some of his best basketball at age 37-years old, passing several milestones. However, this wasn’t the case with his team LA Lakers.

The purple and gold franchise had more controversies than wins this season, from the Russell Westbrook trade, the veteran roster, the injury-prone nature of Anthony Davis, to the recent ouster of head coach Frank Vogel.
