Many laughed at LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers for not even advancing to the NBA Playoffs after being tagged as one of the favorites to win the title this season. Well, it clearly looks like LBJ is really truly deeply affected by all the mockery.

LeBron is probably having a good laugh as well with his family and friends (no Lakers teammates?), as he continues to spend his awesome vacation, this time in the Maldives, which many consider the most beautiful island in the world with its pristine beaches and incredible resorts.

The Lakers superstar posted a short video montage of his magnificent trip on Instagram, and clearly, he is having a terrible time after missing the NBA Playoffs.

The Lakers' awful record notwithstanding, LeBron had another MVP-type season, almost leading the NBA in scoring at 37 years old and setting a bunch of new milestones along the way.

If there's one guy who deserves to have a great vacation, it's definitely not Ben Simmons. Yes, we're pertaining to LeBron, just to be clear.

But of course, even if The King is on airplane mode, there's no such thing as a vacation for all the drama in Tinseltown. LeBron, along with Klutch Sports, is being blamed by the Lakers front office for pressuring the team to sign Russell Westbrook. LBJ has yet to react to this.

But as they say in the Maldives: Meh.
