Stephen Curry is one of the greatest to ever grace the hardwood. Talents like him are often driven by competing against themselves and others. So, like many NBA players before him, Stephen Curry has transformed into a consummate golfer as well. Of course, being an active participant in the game pits him against other golfers. Recently, a unique matchup was ticketed where Curry got to stand next to a player whose game has often drawn comparisons to the Warriors’ No. 30.

A viral image in the build-up to the contest has raised questions about Stephen Curry’s height. More accurately, his height as compared to another professional who enjoys golfing: NFL Quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

A photo doing the rounds on Instagram shows Mahomes looking a tad bit shorter than Stephen Curry. But then again, the photograph isn’t from an environment where both sportspeople would be standing prone. The photo was clicked when the two met each other at the reception of Capital One The Match.

As you can see, Patrick Mahomes seems to be leaning just a little bit to give his shoulder to a hand in the photo. That’s a pose that would have a person crouch slightly. Then again, as previously noted, the two aren’t in a sports environment, so there’s no saying what kind of shoes they are wearing and specifically, what kind of heels those shoes have.

Clearly, there are several aspects that can play a role in the picture. With both of them being in their prime and physically fit, there’s no question of slouching or bad posture, though.

The reason behind the picture is even more exciting

Certainly, diehard fans will already have a word about who they think is the taller among the two. For the record, though, Stephen Curry’s height on his official NBA page is 6’2. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahome’s height online is listed at 6’22, making Mahome a clear winner.

Now, the question of why these two star athletes were snapped together.

The Match is a golf tournament that seeks to support the cause, No Kid Goes Hungry. After Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers defeated Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in last year’s contest, the tournament has decided to make it an interleague showdown.

Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are taking on Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in Las Vegas, with money going to a charitable cause. It will surely be a unique contest as fans will get to see two athletes from different sports battle it out on a field they’re both unfamiliar with.
