Austin Reaves Calls Out LeBron James’ Golfing Skills While Providing Analysis On Bronny

A lot of NBA players end up catching the golf bug once they try it out. The pace may be slower, but the competitive edge is still there, and it provides a platform for some players to thrive in a sport other than basketball. Austin Reaves is one of them, and he’s good enough to critique NBA GOAT LeBron James’ game, as he recently did.

Reaves isn’t just a golf regular but is widely considered the best NBA amateur golfer after Stephen Curry. The Los Angeles Lakers guard has gone from being undrafted to becoming an integral part of the team’s offense, and he’s just as deadly with a 56-iron in his hands.

The 27-year-old spoke about his love for golf during an interview with SportsNet Live. Reaves revealed that he recently played 18 holes with his teammate, Bronny James. He later shared that he sent a photo of the two to Bronny’s father, LeBron, adding exactly what kind of golfer The King is.

“I played with Bronny about a week ago now. We was on 18 and I sent Bron a picture of me and Bronny out there and I was like, ‘I got all my money on Bronny.’ He told me I was insane, obviously, but he’s got a good swing,” stated Reaves.

Talking about LeBron, Reaves stated, “It’s a work in progress,” which made the panel laugh. “He told me he got his first Birdie the other day. He said he was very VERY excited.”
