Steph Curry hilariously issued Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker a golf challenge after the Warriors superstar himself lost a bet on the green to content creator Gabriella Degasperis, more commonly known as GabbyGolfGirl.
Here’s what Curry said on FaceTime with Booker, as shown in GabbyGolfGirl’s latest YouTube video from her recent matchup with Golden State’s finest in Palo Alto.
“So, uhh, I’m out here on the golf course, and I just lost a bet, and I had to pay it up,” Curry told Booker, alongside the internet sensation. “You’re the most amazing teammate that anybody could have, so I figured you’d come in and help me out.
“I’m here with GabbyGolfGirl … I lost a little 1-v-1 nine-hole match to Gabby. Nine holes, we went all square and then I lost the chip-off at the end. And so, I was going to have her caddie for me with like the biggest, heaviest tour bag you’ve ever seen in your life. But I lost, and now she is going to now get to play against you in a 1-v-1 match at some point.”
GabbyGolfGirl owns Curry, apparently.
Curry blew his opportunity to make his new rival carry the heaviest bag of golf gear and followed through on what seemingly was Degasperis’ end of the deal, which is a future match with Booker.
The pair of NBA stars were Team USA basketball teammates during the iconic 2024 Paris Summer Olympics in which the Americans brought home gold. Curry, then, had the chance to get to know Booker better as a teammate and travel partner.
But while Curry described Booker as a world-class teammate, that doesn’t mean the face of the Suns is going to be Mr. Nice Guy. Booker let Curry and Degasperis know that he won’t be messing around against GabbyGolfGirl, and the Warriors star backed the sentiment.
“By the way, [Booker] is going to get the appropriate amount of strokes, and this man is balling right now on the golf course,” Curry said on FaceTime. “So I’m just going to let you (Degasperis) know that. He’s locked in.”
Time will tell if Booker can defeat GabbyGolfGirl on behalf of hoopers-turned-golfers everywhere.
