Stephen Curry has not only converted LeBron James into a self-confessed “addict” on the golf course – but now, he’s set his sights on dragging his teammate Draymond Green into the same obsession.
At the Warriors’ sixth annual charity event, Curry shared what he likes most about introducing others to golf. “I love to see… newcomers come out here, understand the joy that comes with it.
“It’s just about being around good people, the challenge of trying to get a little bit better every single day,” he told reporters from NBC Sports Bay Area & California.
That heartfelt invite extended beyond friendly encouragement. Curry cheekily pointed to Green, revealing: “Draymond… he gets out here a good amount. He’s on vacation. He sent me a picture of him playing.
And I use ‘playing’ generously, but he’s out here, so he gets it. He understands it. He’s just staying patient on the actual getting better at it”.
The key ingredient: Camaraderie
Curry‘s expression of joy isn’t just a hobby – it’s a bonding tool. His relationship with LeBron transformed from rivalry to “bromance” thanks in part to their shared love of golf.
By inviting Green to embrace the sport, Curry isn’t only expanding his inner circle – it’s about cultivating shared experiences off the basketball court.
Their competitiveness translates into golf too. Curry once joked with Green to watch their shadow to avoid “a technical foul out here.” It’s all in good fun – but there’s an undercurrent of mentorship and shared passion.
This playful yet earnest invitation illustrates how the game continues to connect NBA legends beyond competition. With Curry leading the way – be it with laser-think threes or tight chip shots – the entire palette of Warriors‘ chemistry is evolving around new shared experiences.
As Curry drags Green – and potentially others – into golf’s embrace, the message is clear: the challenge of mastering this game is as addicting as thinning the net after a championship-winning 3-pointer. And in Curry’s world, that’s a badge worth chasing.
