Stephen Curry is on a mission this week. But it’s not on an NBA floor this time. You guessed it! He is back in Lake Tahoe for the American Century Championship, aiming to defend his 2023 title. As he heads into the final day of the tournament, he seemingly has complete support of his longtime pal LeBron James despite the recent hazing incident.

The Lakers star flooded Steph’s comments section with fire emojis after he posted his Day 2 highlights from Lake Tahoe. “Day 2 in the books. Let’s finish strong.” The Baby-Faced Assassin wrote, as LeBron made his feelings clear through the emotes.

The reaction could be a bit surprising to some because only a few days ago, Steph publicly mocked LBJ by impersonating his awkward golf swing. You see, the 40-year-old veteran has recently picked up the sport and is still working on his technique. But Curry made sure to have some fun when James’ stiff form went viral. He deemed it some friendly “rookie hazing.”

Obviously, it was just a friendly banter and there is no bad blood between the two Olympics teammates. It’s evident from LeBron publicly supporting the Warriors star as he looks to reclaim the ACC title. In fact, Steph even gave a key advice to LBJ that could help improve his awkward form, “You know, there’s something to work with that swing though. That’s kind of what I was going for. He’s got good bones and a good foundation and if he spends a little bit of time practicing, a little bit of coaching, he’s got potential for sure. So, I’m excited to see it.”

Moreover, he welcomed LeBron to this new environment with open arms, “We all want to welcome LeBron James to the world of golf because the game needs you, big fella.” But while their relationship continues to grow, Steph’s dream of winning the ACC trophy is starting to look a bit far-fetched.

Stephen Curry reveals new “fun goal” after underwhelming Day 2 performance in Lake Tahoe

Heading into Day 2, Curry was looking strong in the tournament. He finished Friday’s session tied at the third position with Taylor Twellman, at 21 points. Only behind NBA legend Vinny Del Negro (22 points) and former NHL star Joe Pavelski at 23 points. But Saturday’s session led to a massive drop for the Baby-Faced Assassin.

With a total of 35 points, he is now tied with last year’s winner Mardy Fish at the ninth spot. While he remains ahead of several big names, including Aaron Rodgers and Travis Kelce, reclaiming the title seems nearly impossible. And Steph knows it. That’s why he has a new goal in mind heading into the final day.

“Obviously, didn’t have my best stuff today, but I grinded the last whatever 11-12 holes. Had a lot of fun… I have an outsight chance of winning, but trying to like reset goals too. In golf there’s only one winner, but trying to get Top 5, Top 3. Even if you don’t have your best stuff, that would be a fun goal to go after for the last round.”

He remarked, aiming to finish in Top 5. Meanwhile, he is enjoying every moment of this amazing weekend, showing off his diverse talents and winning the fans’ hearts. Do you think Steph can cap it off by achieving his goal?
