Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but he’s also a celebrated golfer.
During his offseasons, Curry has spent a lot of time playing the sport with other NBA players and golf superstars.
He spoke with NBC Sports about his love of the game and was asked if NBA legend Charles Barkley, also an avid golfer, is more jealous of Curry’s golf swing or his basketball shot.
Saying that most NBA stars-turned-golf players are “psycho,” Curry said he believes Barkley is more eager to swing like Curry.
He then said that Barkley allegedly used to be a good golfer back in the day when competing against people like Michael Jordan, but he seemingly “forgot how to play.”

Curry has been playing golf since he was ten years old, which means he didn’t just pick it up as a hobby when he became an international superstar.
Even though he has so much talent on the basketball court, he’s also very good on the golf course.
Back in the summer, Curry created a viral moment when he sank a wild hole-in-one during a golfing event in Tahoe.
He has played against Barkley several times for fundraisers and celebrity events, and the two have remained chummy and competitive in a friendly way.
Therefore, it’s not surprising to see him give Barkley a hard time when asked this question.
In a few years, Curry will likely retire from the NBA which will give him more time to play golf and give Barkley a hard time.
