It's our first official golf podcast.
Yeah, they heard Mind the Game.
What insights do LeBron James and Stephen Curry share about Finals film?
They thought the game was basketball today. It was actually not. We say Mind the Team.
I was watching the Bryson DeChambeau. Oh, the Break 50? Break 50. I mean, I knew you were good. I was losing my mind. I only watched half. You matched him.
What mindset and preparation strategies does Stephen Curry emphasize?
I watched the whole thing. I mean, that's being kind. It was my first shot. I lost my mind, too. There's like a little small gallery behind that was following us. And so I knew the whole concept. I knew it was Bryson's a week before the Ryder Cup. I'm like, all right, it's go time. And it's the best, I think, best golf I've played in my life.
And it's so funny, I was watching one of the holes, I don't know what hole it was, and you was like, I'm going to give it a little grunt.
How did Stephen Curry's early inspirations shape his playing style?
One of his drives said, and he got him on the drive. And Bryson, obviously this is what he does. Oh, I can tell in his voice. When they got up to the ball, he was like. I think that's your ball. He was like, oh, man, I outdrove him. Like, it was crazy. He didn't want to give it to me. I think one of the good parts, too, that I was watching, too, and you was – I think Bryson asked you a question like, who's your inspirations? Like, you know, obviously in the game that we all love.
What challenges did Stephen Curry face with strength training and shooting?
Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, and you mentioned Steve and you mentioned Reggie, you know. And obviously Reggie makes so much sense and it's terrifying to – like myself and all the competition over the years. How did that, what made you kind of watch those guys from the beginning? You know, it's funny that I'm sitting across from you talking about the life.
I mean, we all got history in the game of playing against each other and the whole deal, but My rookie year, we played in a pre-season game outside in Palm Springs. Indian Wells, Tennessee. Yeah, Indian Wells.
How does Stephen Curry define the connection between body mechanics and shooting efficiency?
It was my first time actually seeing him on the court and to the point of inspiration. Super intimidating. Just seeing him across, I still do some of your, when you're in the starting line, or the national anthem, the line, you just do like the little leg stuff. I still do it. I still do it. He was like, I was watching everything you did from across the court, but growing up, like, I knew, I was a pass first type of point guard. Yeah. Like, my dad had to actually tell me to shoot more. Bullshit. Nah. Call Dale Curry right now, and he'd tell you, they actually had to tell me to shoot more. He was like, no. Not in this house.
