Stephen Curry is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. For years, his unparalleled shooting touch has continued to enchant the spectators. The point guard has won four NBA championships and is still functioning smoothly.

Curry is presently enjoying his off-season getaway. The human sniper is frequently spotted on the golf course. He recently competed in the ACC Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament. It’s fair to say he didn’t shy away from captivating the crowd there as well.

Interestingly, Stephen Curry has also played golf with Formula 1 great Lewis Hamilton. The two titans met in 2017 in China to play some rounds of golf. However, the GSW ace had to overcome an unexpected twist in the game. Curry had to attempt his shot while wearing Hamilton’s F1 helmet.

Having a helmet on, of course, is strongly recommended in the exhilarating realm of motorsport. However, seeing someone don one on a golf course is an odd and amusing sight. A number of people can be heard motivating Curry while also chuckling at the strange sight in the clip.

Curry eventually attempted the shot. He barely made contact with the ball. In fact, his shot brushed against the grass. The 4-time NBA champion prepared for another shot, this time without Hamilton’s helmet. Curry showed off his skills with the golf club as he executed an impressive strike.
