When LeBron James admitted to retired NBA Legend Steve Nash how the golf "bug" has affected him

The NBA icon once admitted in an episode of the podcast Mind the Game how golf videos have been all over his social media feed. Talking to his co-host and retired-NBA legend Steve Nash last month, LeBron James revealed that the golf bug is real.

The 40-year-old athlete also admitted how he initially thought that his disliking towards golf would keep the bug away from getting to him. James said in the podcast (as quoted by Golfweek):

"The bug is real. I've heard about the bug for so many years and I was like, 'Well, it's not gonna get me. I don't like golf at all. Who wants to be outside all day walking around?' Nah, it's real. I am into it. My algorithm on social media, every other post, every other video is some type of golf video now."

In the same episode, James explained how he picked the sport to challenge his mind while staying away from the court. He further admitted that it was his first time playing an "individual sport" where there was no pressure to ensure teammates' positions for proper execution. James also stated how he loves the 'uncomfortable' aspect of golf despite it being the "complicated mind f**k ever"
