Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry is no stranger to the golf course. But this time, he’s going viral not for his sweet swing — but for imitating someone else’s. In a moment of playful brilliance, Curry perfectly reenacted what he imagines LeBron James looks like when swinging a golf club — and it has the internet laughing.
Steph Curry’s Passion for Golf Runs Deep
While fans know Curry as the NBA’s three-point king, he’s also a serious golf aficionado. Curry has played in pro-am tournaments, hit a hole-in-one at the American Century Championship, and even helped launch the Howard University golf program through a generous donation.
“Golf is my safe haven,” Curry once said. “It’s the one thing outside of basketball that truly clears my mind.”
Michael Jordan-Level Obsession
Curry’s obsession with golf is often compared to the legendary Michael Jordan, who famously played 36 holes during playoff off-days. According to reports, Curry spends most of his offseasons on the course and often books tee times around his NBA schedule. He even practices swing drills on game days.
“If I wasn’t playing basketball, I’d probably try to make it as a golfer,” Curry told Golf Digest in 2022. “It’s that serious for me.”
The Internet Reacts
Curry’s LeBron swing parody struck a nerve online — fans were in stitches, with many praising how spot-on it was. Social media lit up with comments like “He really nailed the hesitation and slow follow-through” and “This is exactly how I picture LeBron golfing.”
While LeBron himself hasn’t responded (yet), we can imagine he’s seen it — and hopefully laughed just like the rest of us.
More Than a Joke
While the video was made in good fun, it’s also a window into how much Curry loves the game. He knows every detail of a golfer’s form, even when it’s exaggerated for laughs. And like Jordan before him, Curry is showing how elite basketball players often find passion — and competition — on the fairway.
With Curry’s charisma, skill, and comedic timing, don’t be surprised if this isn’t the last viral golf moment we get from him. The next one might just be a trophy — or another hole-in-one.
