On August 9, James posted an Instagram story saying he “cannot stop playing” golf this offseason. He spends significant hours on the course, often joined by his son Bronny or a circle of friends as part of his summer routine. Stephen Curry called his early swings “rookie hazing,” praising their foundation, and Jayson Tatum offered swing tips after testing them on the course. Recent video clips show measurable improvement in his swing since initial blooper moments went viral in July. Social media speculation has linked his golf fixation to rumors about his NBA longevity ahead of his 23rd season.
