Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was having a ball — literally — in a recent appearance in a golf tournament, where he was paired with no less than golfing legend Phil Mickelson.
Curry couldn't escape basketball even while on the golf course, as a basketball hoop was conveniently hanging around near one of the greens. Naturally, there were some basketballs too, and being that he is Stephen Curry, the Warriors guard gave the adoring fans a lot to cheer about as he started launching some shots.
The hoop looked like it was at least 12 to 15 feet off the ground, which made Curry struggle badly with his first few shots. Mickelson joined in on the fun, and even made a few baskets of his own. Curry then decided to take some shots from Steph Curry territory, and just when some doubt was beginning to creep in on whether or not he was going to make one, the 31-year-old instantly reminded all of us why he is widely considered as one of the best shooters of all time:

Curry even did his traditional run-off — in full golfing attire, at that — which made this clip even more endearing. It's hard not to smile at the end of what was actually a typical Steph Curry shot — by his high standards, of course.
Curry is making the most out of the last few days of his summer, with the start of training camp drawing closer. The six-time All-Star will have a lot on his plate this coming campaign, and if all goes according to plan, we should see Steph at his very best again this season.
