After missing the NBA playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers' season has been over for more than two weeks and LeBron James has some free time. After averaging 30.3 points per games this season, the offseason is now for the Lakers and it's time for a vacation.

While it might not go down in the lore of James vacations like the legendary "Banana Boat" trip, James and his wife, Savannah, took the family to Maldives and stayed on a private island. In an Instagram video from Savannah James' account, the family flew in a seaplane, hit the beach and went fishing. James also did some barefoot dancing while enjoying a drink.

The 37-year-old James has as many NBA titles as he now has times missing the playoffs, so a late-spring getaway is probably something strange to the 18-time NBA All-Star. On April 22, he tweeted about not wanting miss the playoffs again.

Maldives, west of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean, is 12 hours ahead of LeBron's home time zone. Watching playoff games on vacation would mean staying up late or getting up extremely early.
