Yeah, sure, Stephen Curry is the self-proclaimed King of the links. But at least LeBron James is trying (cue to add a puppy-eyes emoji). No, don’t go by the friendly banter, the completely endearing ‘rookie hazing’ moments. Because the Akron Hammer is taking each swing seriously. Gone are the days when Austin Reaves called him no-so-athletic after the ‘glorious’ Topgolf viral clip. The 40-year-old is channeling the Tiger Woods hidden in him. Or maybe the rookie, Luke Clanton?
Fire met fairway when James lit up Steph Curry’s Day 2 ACC golf post with emojis hotter than a summer drive. “Day 2 in the books. Let’s finish strong,” Steph wrote, fresh off swinging smooth in Tahoe. The twist? Just days earlier, he poked fun at LeBron’s beginner swing. But kings can laugh too, especially when the rivalry stays playful and classy.
But redemption is always the middle name of the King. Without much delay, the Lakers’ superstar made sure he hit the golf course first thing on Monday. And guess what? He made sure the millions of followers on his Instagram, including Curry, know and understand that he’s practicing. One swing at a time.
Styled in a white bucket hat, pin-stripped t-shirt, white shorts, and a club in his hand. The Akron Hammer took his shot. Well, he still might look like the Greek God, Atlas, trying to balance the earth on his shoulder. However, you cannot unsee his efforts.
This is a developing story…
