His post garnered attention from fellow athlete Steph Curry, who wrote, “Welcome! We’ve been waiting for you.” Although comparisons to Michael Jordan will continue in James’ NBA career, it might be a while before he competes against him on the golf course, as Jordan holds a low handicap and played golf on game days throughout his career.
As James continues to hone his golf skills, he also prepares for his record-setting 23rd season in the NBA, where fans are excited to see how his new hobby develops.
