As the NBA offseason goes on, the stars are trying several things to keep themselves busy. LeBron James, one of the top names in the industry, is trying his hand at golf. The Los Angeles Lakers star has taken up golf in his free time.

Golf is a sport that many top athletes from other sports have taken up. James’ longtime career rival, Stephen Curry, is one of those NBA stars who plays golf in his free time and has often left the fans stunned with his performances.

While Curry has been playing the game for a while, James is relatively new to this sport. On his Instagram account on Friday, the 4-time NBA Champion posted some clips of him trying golf and taking some swings while expressing that this was his 2nd day of trying this sport.

Curry would later welcome his countrymen to this sport. While reacting to this, the Golden State Warriors’ star dropped a 6-word message while writing that they had been waiting for him to join them and play this sport.

James wrapped up his 22nd season in the NBA this year. He and his team suffered a first-round elimination from the playoffs at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves. In Game 5 of this series, the future NBA Hall of Famer suffered an MCL injury.

By the time the next season ends, James will be 41 years old. Given his age and his sudden shift to the golf scene, several fans on social media have been left worried that his retirement from professional basketball could be near.

A 21-time NBA All-Star, James has won 4 championships (2 with the Miami Heat and 1 each with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers). During his 4 wins, he was also named the MVP of the playoffs. Apart from that, he is the leading point scorer in NBA history with 42,184 points.
