Some have often wondered aloud, what would it have been like if twitter had existed when Michael Jordan was gambling in Atlantic City long into the wee hours of the morning before a playoff game against the Knicks?

And it appears that we have some kind of answer, even if it’s not as scandalous, at least as it relates to the scrutiny of LeBron James. After LeBron openly wondered about the commitment of his teammates to the game of basketball, some Lakers fans are questioning the commitment of James himself.

A Lakers fan, who goes by @TheMMQBL on twitter, made the observation that LeBron James’ highly publicized A/R work on the upcoming 2Chainz album, ‘Rap or Go To The League,’ happened the night before James was ruled out of the Lakers Saturday night primetime matchup against the Warriors.

Please tell me Lebron James wasn't up at 11:43pm making songs with 2Chainz the night before a game against thr Golden State Warriors…a game he missed due to "Load Management"… Someone please tell me I didn't just see that pic.twitter.com/UU5ad9gU8Y — THE Monday Morning QuarterBLACK (@TheMMQBL) February 25, 2019

LeBronWire has gone back to the original source video on 2Chainz’s instagram and confirmed that it did indeed say his studio session with 2Chainz happened on Feb. 1 and went until at least 11:43 p.m., the night before the Lakers went to Oakland to face the Warriors on Super Bowl Weekend. James was eventually ruled out only a few hours prior to the game for “load management.”

Now while the videos and stories in question are certainly more bad optics for LeBron after what he said on Saturday, it’s also important to note that James had just played over 40 minutes in an overtime win over the Clippers on Jan. 31, his first game in over five weeks.

But again, those facts probably won’t matter to the most passionate Lakers fans. The look is bad enough to create plenty of doubt in their minds about James’ own commitment, no matter how great he plays if the Lakers continue to lose.

The only thing that James can do to win those skeptical fans over is to win and win a lot over the final 23 games in order to get the Lakers to the playoffs for the first time since 2013.
