Famous comedian Kevin Hart has issued a bold challenge to LeBron James in golf. The Basketball legend has expressed interest in playing golf this offseason.
This past Wednesday, on Instagram, Hart posted a photo of himself golfing, in which he issued a major challenge to James. The actor-comedian hopes to play a golf game against the future Hall of Famer a year from now.
However, the threat was loud and clear as he vowed to embarrass the four-time champion in golf. Hart’s challenge was for September 17, 2026, and claimed he would defeat LeBron as the world watches.
“I am publicly challenging you to 18holes in a year …. Next Sept on the 17th …. I’m going to let the world see me kick yo a**!!!!!!! Consider this a threat and a warning!!!!!!!!!! P.S I’m making the sleeveless golf shirt my thing!!!!!! Suns out guns out B**CHES!!!!!!!”
LeBron Has Responded To The Challenge From His Friend
The challenge did not go unanswered as LeBron James was quick to respond to his celebrity friend. The veteran is pretty serious about using this offseason to learn golf.
The NBA legend called out Hart, instructing him not to wait a year and do the match right away. James fired back with an equal threat to his comedian friend.
“Why we gotta wait a whole year?? We can get to it now!! And in a year too!” James responded. “Say it wit cho chest. And leave that dumba** cut off at home too!”
It remains to be seen if a match goes down between the two personalities next year. It certainly will bring a lot of eyes to golf as fans will have to choose which side to cheer.
Fans Are Enjoying This Bit A Lot
James has been playing golf for quite some time; however, his early attempts at the sport have been compared to Charles Barkley’s famous awkward swings. Hart and James recently appeared in a Samsung commercial where the comedian was seen humorously giving James golf tips.
The match between the two names has grabbed the attention of the fans. They have reacted with excitement, amusement, and even some humorous trash-talking.
This fan believes Hart’s jokes could play a part in distracting James and further asked who could come out on top in the potential golf clash.
Despite these reactions, the fans will certainly fill the seats if a match is made official for next year. We will have to wait and see if Hart and James take more jabs at each other leading up to the game.
