Michael Jordan and Steph Curry agreed on what the toughest sport to play is and it’s NOT basketball.
Jordan enjoyed a legendary career in the NBA, winning an impressive six championships with Chicago Bulls.
As for Curry, he has four championships to his name with Golden State Warriors.
Jordan and Curry have excelled and dominated on the court, but the pair of basketball icons are both in agreement over what the toughest sport to play is.
Surprisingly, they both opted for golf over their own sport of basketball.
Jordan said it is ‘the hardest game to play’ while Curry believes it is ‘the hardest sport to master’.
“I kind of got into golf mainly because from a competitive standpoint to me, it is the hardest game to play,” explained the 61-year-old.
“I can always respond to an opponent, defensive guy, offensive guy whatever but in golf, it’s like playing in a mirror.
“You’re battling yourself consistently to try to get perfection. Every swing. Every putt.
“For a competitive person like me, this is what keeps me sane because when I walk away from the game of basketball, that was enough to keep my competitive juices working.
“Now, when I don’t have that game, this game and it even drives me crazy then. I go fishing in between my golf because I got to show patience in fishing that’s going to be related to golf.”

Curry, who’s an avid golfer, added: “I love golf for a lot of reasons. I mean obviously, I’m a competitive person by nature, and I think it’s probably the hardest sport to master. So, no matter how good you get, I’m sure the PGA guys talk about it all the time, they’re at the top level, but they can always feel like they can get better.
“So, for me from the time I picked up a club, there was always something I wanted to try. A better score that I wanted to shoot. It’s a humbling sport obviously as well so it keeps you coming back.”
