President Obama is known to take his sports (and, presumably, his politics) very seriously, and he carries that competitive streak to the golf course, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry told Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday's Kimmel Live. After winning the NBA championship earlier this summer, Curry and his father played 18 holes against Obama and pro-basketball player Ray Allen, and it wasn't just a walk on the greens.
"The president was talking trash, oh my goodness," said Curry. Kimmel was confused. "How do you talk trash in golf?" he asked. "Like what, specifically, did he say?" Anything to get inside your head and throw you off your game, Curry replied. When Kimmel said that didn't sound very relaxing, Curry laughed: "Well, there's 25 Secret Service agents at every hole, so I couldn't relax at all." If you're interested, you can learn who won the game in the clip below. Peter Weber
