For all the basketball conversations that surround Caitlin Clark and LeBron James, one of the biggest connections between the two superstars actually has nothing to do with basketball.

It is golf.

Clark opened up this week about her growing friendship with James and revealed the two share a bucket-list goal that fans probably did not expect. During an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews ahead of the Indiana Fever’s season opener, Clark explained that she and the NBA legend regularly talk about golf and hope to eventually hit the course together.

“We text about golf,” Clark said. “That’s next on our bucket list, is to play golf together.”

The Fever star even joked that the experience might include plenty of bad shots.

“I’m not sure either of us are too great and we might be chasing the ball a lot,” Clark added. “But I think basketball players just like the mental challenge of an individual sport like golf.”

LeBron James has quietly become one of Caitlin Clark’s biggest supporters

While the golf revelation quickly caught fans’ attention online, Clark’s comments also offered another glimpse into the relationship she has built with James over the last two years. Long before Clark became the centerpiece of the Fever franchise, James publicly supported her rise through college basketball. He congratulated her after she broke the NCAA all-time scoring record and continued backing her through the highs and lows of her early WNBA career.
