LeBron James captioned his latest Instagram post by challenging Kevin Hart to a game. He wrote: “Lil late afternoon therapy! Went to the range to hit a few, then ended up on the course playing a quick 9. It’s 1 beautiful game! Come out, come out wherever you are, Mr. Kevin Hart. Stop [running] from me! BTA awaits you!”

Despite being a golfing beginner, Hart fancies his chances of taking down the Philadelphia 76ers star. The comedian responded: “I’m counting down the days man! U just wait… I got something for you. Foot to a–.”

LeBron’s many fans noticed an improvement in his golf swing, which certainly looked more fluid than before. “Looking way better” and “nice swing Bron” were two common responses.
