LeBron James is making the most of the off season by basking in the sun.

After failing to qualify for the playoffs for the second time in the past four years with the Los Angeles Lakers, James opted to treat himself and family and friends to a luxury vacation at the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru. The lavish, tropical location boasts oceanfront bungalows and villas and privacy fit for “King James” and his court. 

The 37-year shared snippets of sunsets, extravagant dinners, toasts to the good life and much more in a montage video posted on social media. He captioned it, “Hey Life…I simply just wanna say, THANK YOU!”

Fans who have watched the 18-time NBA All Star for his near two-decade career felt the vacation was well-deserved despite the Lakers’ recent season. 

“Gotta enjoy the fruits of your labor.”

“The goat finally getting some vacation time.”

“Enjoy bro I’m kinda hurt not seeing you in the playoffs rn but enjoy life em…BACK 2 WORK NEXT SEASON!”

But other comments narrowed in on one of the shortest snippets in the video. “Savannah out there double cheeked up,” commented a fan, taking notice of Savannah’s black bikini bottom that revealed her backside. 

Several others responded to remark, writing, “He tried to speed past like we wasn’t gone peep,” “hit that pause button asap,” and “knew I couldn’t be the only one who peeped.”

The couple, which celebrated eight years of marriage in September, often leaves fans fawning over their looks. While Savannah captivated the attention of many, she wasn’t the only one showing off an enviable physique. While donning swim trunks, James proved he is still in playing shape, even though he has to wait until the regular season resumes in October. 

As for the game, James has declared this season would be the last he would fail to make the playoffs.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
