Hold up, did you hear this? Just days before NBA training camps are set to explode across the league, LeBron James, his son Bronny, and Austin Reaves apparently decided it was a good time for a golf match, and guess what? They lost. Seriously, right before the grind of a new season kicks off, these guys were out on the links in Oregon, and they couldn’t even pull off a win. It’s wild to think about the timing.
Bandon Dunes Battle: When Pros Fall Short
LeBron, who is seriously growing his whole golf influencer thing, linked up with Bronny and Austin Reaves. They headed out to the famous Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, an absolute bucket list spot for any golf fan. The trio formed a team for a three-on-three battle, squaring off against a squad from the Bob Does Sports channel. You read that right: a channel squad. These are pros, or at least guys who are about to start a grueling NBA season, and they’re going up against… well, the Bob Does Sports crew. It had to be a fun time out there, but you gotta wonder if the competitive fire was burning as hot as it needs to be with camp looming.
“BTA’d Us Two Matches” and the Clock Is Ticking
So, how’d it go down? The NBA trio, with all their athletic prowess and professional competitive drive, was “unable to come out on top.” Let that sink in. LeBron himself confirmed it at the end of the video, saying that Bob Does Sports “BTA’d us two matches.” Whatever “BTA’d” means in golf slang, it sounds like a pretty decisive defeat. It’s one thing to have a casual round, but to get beaten by a channel squad just days before you’re supposed to be back on the court, ramping up for another NBA run? That’s gotta sting a little, or at least make you wonder where the focus is.
Now, though, the fun and games are officially winding down. These guys, and every other player in the NBA, are on a strict deadline. Training camps around the league officially open their doors on Tuesday. That’s *Tuesday*. And if you’re looking forward to seeing some actual basketball, the first preseason games are hitting the court on October 3. That means these clubs, no matter how much fun they are at Bandon Dunes, are about to get shelved. It’s time to swap the fairway for the hardwood, and the golf swing for the jump shot. Hopefully, this little golf “L” fires them up for the season ahead!
