LeBron James has used every single minute of his 22-season-long NBA career to be the best player ever. The Lakers star takes every aspect of life competing seriously, even if it involves a game of horse with his teammates.

The 40-year-old is nearing the end of his stellar career and has given a few indications that the 2025-26 season could be his last. The problem is that every ultracompetitive athlete needs something to lean on once they are done playing.

Michael Jordan has always had golf. Charles Barkley has also taken to the game, as have many other players. Maybe that could have led the Los Angeles Lakers superstar to try his hand at golf.

When the first clips surfaced, it was apparent that the father of three was trying to learn the game. Stephen Curry was happy that his longtime rival and fellow Akron native took up the hobby.

At the same time, he trolled James’ swing, which has a hitch when the club is at the top, and his downward stroke is not as smooth as that of someone who is a regular in the game.

But the NBA’s all-time leading scorer seems to have a lot of power behind his shot. While on a trip to another golf course with his close friends, Kevin Love recorded his former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate taking a swing.

LeBron James hits it with a lot of power and goes about yelling, ‘Bron got that again’. Those standing nearby were in awe of the distance the shot generated, as well as the clean way in which the ball left the tee.

Fans roll on the floor watching LeBron James’ golf swing

When clips of this swing reached social media, basketball fans were left rolling on the floor. They know that LeBron James is a while away from becoming decent at golf. But the swing, the hitch, and the way he shot the ball off the tee were hilarious.

Many felt James is enjoying himself, while also trying his best not to insult the game. At the same time, he is trying to get a feel for hitting the ball as a step towards him getting his feet wet before tackling the more intricate shots.

Some fans felt the Los Angeles Lakers superstar still needs a lot of work before he can play with others who are better at golf. Check out examples of those reactions below:

LeBron James is definitely gearing toward a life after retirement. He knows his time on the basketball court is winding down. That is why he has asked his friends to ramp up his business interests.

LeBron James and Kevin Love could reunite at Lakers

LeBron James has a close brotherly relationship with former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate Kevin Love. Over the past several years, there have been several instances where it was clear that the two love each other’s company.

Now, there is a chance that the two can be reunited on the Los Angeles Lakers. It so happens that Love is looking to buy out his contract from the Utah Jazz. That would make him a free agent.

He wants to return home to California and has earmarked one of the two Los Angeles franchises as his next destination. Considering their bond, it is possible that the 5-time All-Star signs a veteran minimum deal with the Lakers.

He might not get many minutes on a team looking to fight for a championship. It could be the last year of LeBron James’ illustrious career, which is why there is a sense of urgency.
