NBA stars have numerous intense battles on the court throughout the long and grueling season. However, there are certain things that are common among many of the superstars in the NBA currently. It is the love for golf and also alcohol. The same can be said about Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry who enjoys a game or two while also showing some love for alcohol. He recently sat down to talk about his love for the sport and various other things.

During the interview, he was asked about his favorite alcoholic beverage while focusing on his favorite off-court sport. Not over-complicating things, the former NBA champion revealed one of his go-to drinks which might come of as a surprise to many.

Stephen Curry’s affection for golf is well-known. Similar to other prominent figures like Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, he enjoys hitting the links from time to time. In a recent interview with Esquire, the four-time NBA champion discussed his passion for the sport along with various other intriguing topics. Curry emphasized that he actually performs better at golf when he plays during the basketball season. The rationale behind this? With limited game time during the season, Curry always gives his best when he has the opportunity to play golf.

Furthermore, during the same interview, he also disclosed his preferred alcoholic beverage. Discussing his preference for simplicity, Curry remarked, “I am not picky at all, but usually it’s a little tequila soda. Let’s just keep it clean.”

Interestingly, Curry employs alcohol in a unique manner. In 2018, during a game against the Memphis Grizzlies, where Curry had a subpar performance on the court, Draymond Green reached out to him and suggested they go out for a drink. Curry promptly agreed, and subsequently, the team won the next three games after trailing 2-1.
