BREAKING: In a shocking throwback, Jason Day has reignited conversations about LeBron James’ golf skills with a harsh critique from 2018. The former world number one didn’t hold back, describing James’ swing as “terrible” and “awful” during an interview with Golf Digest.
This comment comes as LeBron James, widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, has been making headlines for his newfound passion for golf. Recent clips circulating on social media show the NBA star working on his swing while courtside at a game, sparking discussions about his potential in the sport.
But according to Day, who spoke candidly about his lack of interest in coaching celebrities, LeBron has a long way to go. “No, I’ve seen him swing, and it looks terrible. Just awful,” Day stated. His blunt appraisal has gone viral, drawing attention from sports fans and golf enthusiasts alike.
While many basketball players, like Stephen Curry, have successfully embraced golf—Curry even playing on the Korn Ferry Tour—James appears to struggle with the transition. The contrast was clear when Curry outdrove professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau in a recent viral video, leaving fans questioning how James would fare on the course.
Adding drama to the mix, Day and James have a complicated history. In a 2015 incident at a basketball game, James accidentally collided with Day’s wife, leading to her being taken away in a neck brace. Thankfully, she recovered quickly and later defended James, acknowledging the risks of sitting courtside. James offered his apologies immediately after the incident, and Day revealed that the NBA star reached out later to check on his wife’s condition.
Despite this history, Day’s candid remarks about James’ golf swing have sparked a wave of online reactions, with many fans taking to social media to share their thoughts. As LeBron continues to pursue his golf aspirations, the question remains: Can he turn around Day’s brutal verdict into a glowing endorsement?
As this story develops, all eyes will be on James as he attempts to refine his golf skills amid the ongoing basketball season. Will he take Jason Day’s critique to heart and improve his swing, or will this harsh assessment linger over his budding golf career? Stay tuned for the latest updates on this unfolding story.
