In order to promote the event, Curry recently uploaded a clip with all the stars, showing their efforts at silly games.

Stephen Curry leads the pack for silly games

Klay Thompson and Curry are teaming up against Patrick Mahomes and Kelce for The Match. Despite it being an event for the amateur pack, the event holds a great deal of importance. In fact, in its previous year’s version, Tom Brady was among the participants. He teamed up with Aaron Rodgers and they defeated the team of Mahomes and Josh Allen. Although the Chiefs quarterback lost last year, he seems to have his preparation on point this year. Additionally, Curry and Mahomes have made great progress in their skills as golf players. While the NFL star has a handicap of 7.7, the NBA’s very own holds a handicap of +1.

While Curry and Mahomes got the Dizzy Bat, Thompson and Kelce received the Happy Gilmore. The former team managed to execute the challenge whereas the latter fell a little short. Thompson made his “best drive” of the day, whereas Kelce’s attempt fell flat on its face. Over his failed attempt, Kelce can be heard yelling “Dahhh! Loser.”

And get a little distracted in the middle of the round somewhere.”
