While it’s almost impossible to imagine NBA legend LeBron James playing( or loving) any other sport than basketball, he apparently is quite passionate about another sport. He recently revealed golf as his hobby, saying that he’s “addicted” to the sport. As expected, this has garnered surprised yet approving reactions from James’ fans.
LeBron James loves watching this sport
Looks like fans will soon witness the Los Angeles Lakers icon dominating the golf course. He recently took to social media to express his newfound passion for golf, and fans are here for it.
In an X (formerly Twitter) post, LeBron James wrote, “I love watching YouTube golf videos!! Random I know. lol. SO COOL!” This unexpected yet refreshing revelation garnered 8 million views and thousands of hype comments urging the star player to pursue his new hobby.
Fans immediately chimed in to extend their support for James, with one writing, “You just like my dad, Bron! We should all sit down and watch golf vids sometime, haha!” Another golf enthusiast stated, “How bout you come and take a golf lesson with me? I’ll change your game!”
“Me too, LeBron my mannn, me too”, a third concurring comment read, while another user added, “Lebron is one of us!”
While James’ hobby of watching golf videos is new information, his fascination with the sport is known to fans. In July, Golf Channel reposted an Instagram video of him on the golf course, and many seemed to love it. “LeBron James is catching the golf bug this offseason”, the caption said.
The video shows LeBron James pursuing his interest in the sport and sharpening his golfing skills with each shot. Reactions to the NBA champion acing yet another sport poured in, with some even saying that he’s a natural.
“Something tells me he’s got the best coaches in the world reaching out to him already. He gonna be just fine ;)” wrote one fan. However, a disapproving comment said, “Stick to being the 3rd best basketball player of all time. Leave the golfing to MJ and Steph.”
Nevertheless, LeBron James isn’t one to bow down to criticism and, in true sportsman spirit, often shares photos and videos of himself playing golf. The three-time Olympic gold medalist’s love for the sport is quite evident, with fans in full support of his hobby.
