BREAKING: Lakers LeBron James leaves Steph Curry W…read more.
LeBron James might be one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but when it comes to golf, he’s still working on his game and that dedication recently left Steph Curry waiting a little longer than expected.
The two NBA icons were set for a friendly round of golf, but Steph found himself killing time on the green while LeBron stayed back at the range, locked in on perfecting his swing. True to form, LeBron wasn’t about to rush even if one of the best shooters in NBA history was waiting on him.
“LeBron was taking his time, trying to get everything just right,” one onlooker joked. “Meanwhile, Steph was just chilling, smiling, probably thinking, ‘This guy really treats golf like Game 7.’”
Despite the delay, there was no tension between the longtime rivals-turned-friends. When LeBron finally walked up, the two greeted each other with laughs and a warm handshake, poking fun at the whole situation. Curry, who’s known to be a solid golfer himself, didn’t seem to mind the wait and even seemed to appreciate LeBron’s effort to improve.
It’s not the first time these two have shared a golf course, but moments like this remind fans that even sports legends are just regular guys when the jerseys come off competitive, a little stubborn, and always chasing greatness, even on the fairway.
Social media had fun with the story too. “Steph waiting on LeBron to finish practice swings? That’s just two dads being dads,” one fan tweeted.
Whether it’s on the court or on the course, one thing is clear: LeBron’s commitment to excellence never clocks out even if it means making Steph Curry wait a few extra minutes.
