“A mind f**k to say the least” LeBron James drops explosive golf video internet can’t stop buzzing over

A recent Instagram update by Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James got fans talking. But this time, it wasn't about basketball. James posted a series of videos in which he was seen playing golf.

His caption caught even more attention: he called golf "a mind f**k to say the least," summing up how challenging the sport feels to him.

NBA star LeBron James shares his golf attempt with fans

On July 4, LeBron James uploaded videos to his verified Instagram account (@kingjames) showing himself practicing golf swings on a bright sunny course. The NBA legend, known for his dominance on the basketball court, is now trying his hand at something different.

James wrote in his caption, "Day 2 of officially trying this out! Boy o Boy it's a mind fuck to say the least! But I think I enjoy that part of it a lot! Haha! . Got a long ass way to go at this sport and I'll still be some but hey it's a great time out there! @teamswish asked me for a vid so here you go my guy! Slid 4 is so funny to me! @siancotton_ @rometrav @ernieramos @chillwill03 @smallzthevillain when we going back out there?? LET'S GO!!!" The post showed clips of his drive, and while his form looked a bit stiff, he managed decent distance. LeBron also added that he was just getting started in the game and hinted at how difficult it has been to pick up.

This isn’t LeBron’s first time swinging a golf club. Back in 2013, he appeared in a Samsung commercial with comedian Kevin Hart where they both tried to golf. His swing back then drew comparisons to NBA legend Charles Barkley’s famously awkward form. But now, it seems James is taking the sport a bit more seriously and here’s the proof.

A slow but serious start to golf for the NBA superstar LeBron James

LeBron James may still be learning the ropes, but there are signs he’s committed to improving.

In the videos, fans noticed his power-packed drive but didn’t see any footage of his short game or iron play. That suggests he’s focusing on the basics before moving to more advanced shots.

James seems to be first-hand learning that golf is a psychologically demanding and humbling game. Still engaged with the Los Angeles Lakers, a four-time NBA champion hasn't revealed any plans for retirement. Given his level of athleticism, though, some wonder whether golf might fit into his future post-basketball life.
