Stephen Curry showed his golfing prowess to the world when he won the American Century Championship Golf Event in July. He beat more than 90 tough competitors, which included athletes and celebrities from various fields. Chef Curry dominated in Lake Tahoe and bagged $125,000 after winning the prestigious trophy. After his elite performance at the ACC event, most fans would agree that Chef Curry is the best golf player in the NBA.

King James? Lakers teammate Austin Reaves made a bold statement about his golfing skills. Reaves was a guest on The Lowe Post Podcast hosted by Zach Lowe. Knowing about the Lakers guard?s passion for golf, the veteran analyst asked Reaves, ?Who is the best golfer among NBA players?? Austin Reaves replied without any hesitation, ?Me.? The 25-year-old is extremely passionate about golf and has been playing since he was a kid. Reaves believes he can outplay Chef Curry on the golf course and is ready to compete against anyone.

Hearing Austin?s bold claim, Zach tried to motivate the Lakers guard to settle the debate once and for all by competing against the American Century Championship winner in an event. ?I would love to play against Steph.? Reaves said. Austin saw the Warriors legend play golf in the middle of their playoff series last season. Reaves and D?Angelo went to play golf during their day off between games, and the 4-time Champion was already there swinging the club. Austin also took a shot at Steph?s co-star Klay Thompson for his disappointing performance against NFL legends Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in their celebrity golf match.
