LeBron James has mastered every field that he has stepped in. From Basketball to charitable work, to even being a successful businessman, the King knows how to get work done. But like many, LeBron has his own shortcomings, and according to his former teammate J.R. Smith, the 4-time NBA winner has apathy in the sport of golf.

While many athletes from different domains enjoy the 18-hole sport, LeBron tends to be away from it. It is surprising to many since golf can be a great source for extending your business network. Nonetheless, the LA Laker star doesn’t require any golf sessions to become a billionaire. But why is the NBA legend not into golf?

J.R. Smith reveals why LeBron James dislikes golf

Smith and James have known each other for quite a while. Both men won two rings together. However, in 2021, Smith decided to return back to college and pursue a degree in Liberal Studies while also joining North Carolina A&T State University’s golf team, Aggies. Since the shooting guard has much interest in golf, he tried to instill some into LeBron James.

But after failed attempts, Smith gave up understanding why the 4 time NBA MVP isn’t into golf. “LeBron is a person who, if he’s not good at it, he doesn’t want to do it,” Smith said during his recent visit to the Loop Podcast. He further added how the complicated rules of golf aren’t something Bron will be able to get hold of.

“Him [James] trying to figure out a draw and a cut for four, five hours, it’s just not going to happen”, Smith added. Though James hasn’t displayed his golfing skills much publicly, a video of his bizarre golf swing went viral last year. Nonetheless, as LeBron reaches the final phase of his illustrious career, he’ll find plenty of time to understand the basics of the 18-hole sport.

But deeming his recent frequent 40+ points nights, and passion for Basketball at the age of 38, it doesn’t seem like LeBron is retiring any time soon. Perhaps, it may be better for many golfers that the basketball legend isn’t into the sport, or else it would about time before he heads to the golf course to continue his dominance in the world of sports.
