LeBron James on His New Love for Golf…
This summer has been a whirlwind of firsts for Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. It’s like he’s collecting them faster than stamps in a philatelist’s dream. He’s diving into new waters by playing on an expiring contract for the first time, thanks to a player option for 2025-26. Oh, and guess what? LeBron thought hitting the greens with golf clubs was a grand idea too! As he flirts with retirement at 40, he might be tired of slam dunks and opting for those hole-in-ones. Who would have thought the king of the court would trade basketball dunks for birdie stunts?
But LeBron’s golf enthusiasm doesn’t stop there; he dishes out compliments as if he’s Santa on a congratulatory spree. Tommy Fleetwood secured his first PGA Tour win like a tortoise winning a race against hares, sneaking a win after 164 attempts. LeBron can relate as he faced a similar hurdle before nabbing his first NBA title. With a ginormous prize of $10 million at East Lake Golf Course, Fleetwood’s success surely piqued LeBron’s interest. And in no time, they’ll hit the golf course together, picturing themselves as the dynamic duo of the golf world alongside Stephen Curry!
