Los Angeles Lakers star player LeBron James has once again left fans and analysts guessing about his future in the NBA. With the offseason underway, James took to Instagram to share a cryptic story that has sparked a lot of speculation and discussion among basketball enthusiasts.

Skip Bayless weighed in on James’ Instagram story, expressing his thoughts on the matter. Bayless said, “I’m not condemning LeBron but he’s got attention deficit disorder going on where he likes to be in the limelight. It feels like he’s reading his comments to a fault because if you let him get in your psyche they’ll just eat you alive, and it feels like this post is intended for all those haters out there because you know what he’s saying, ‘You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone.’ And guess what, I’ll agree with that.”

Bayless acknowledged that James enjoys being in the spotlight but added that the post was unnecessary because it is evident that James still possesses exceptional skills on the court. He continued, “I don’t think he needs to post that because I think it’s obvious, and I hope he’s going to have some kind of cleanup surgery in the next couple of weeks here. It’s about time, you better do it sooner than later. And if he does, he’s going to come back as strong as ever, and I think he’ll have the greatest 21st year, he’ll have the greatest 39-year-old season because he is still highly capable.”

Bayless’s comments shed light on the potential motivations behind James’ cryptic Instagram story. While he does not condemn James, Bayless suggests that the Lakers star may be influenced by comments and criticism from others, leading him to seek attention and prove his doubters wrong.
