“Wants to Be MJ So Bad”: Far Away From Michael Jordan’s 1.3 Handicap, LeBron James Golf Swing Once Got Dismantled by Fans

Michael Jordan, legendary basketball player is also a golf enthusiast. He frequently spends time on golf courses and possesses an impressive golf handicap of 1.3.

LeBron James appears to be thoroughly enjoying himself and practicing his clearly sub-par golfing skillset in the video.

Meanwhile, the debate regarding who is superior in basketball – whether it’s LeBron or MJ – remains a contentious topic. However, in the realm of golf, many would concur that Michael Jordan has a distinct advantage after this video.
