Well, you can take the guessing out of the equation as we've listed the notable NBA players who can also swing the sticks.  **Stephen Curry** We will go right to the top spot with Stephen Curry. Not only is Curry known for making a splash as one of if not the most pure shooters of all time but he also has a knack for swinging the sticks. Curry just participated in his first Web.com Tour event this past August and is known to be a **two handicap**. --- **![Kyle Korver golfer NBA.png](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Kyle%20Korver%20golfer%20NBA.png?width=300&height=200&name=Kyle%20Korver%20golfer%20NBA.png)** **Kyle Korver** Another all time great from the perimeter comes up as number two on our list of NBA golfers. Kyle Korver of the Cleveland Cavaliers, has been hosting golf tournaments for the Kyle Korver foundation for quite some time now. Korver’s handicap can be listed anywhere **between five to eight**. --- ![JR Smith golfer NBA.png](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/JR%20Smith%20golfer%20NBA.png?width=300&height=200&name=JR%20Smith%20golfer%20NBA.png) **J.R.

Once recognized as a young star his impact in the NBA has slowly diminished leaving him a free agent for the time being. Although Williams is not in the league right now he has all the time in the world to work on his impressive golf game. Williams checks in at an **eight handicap**. --- **![Chris Paul golfer NBA.png](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Chris%20Paul%20golfer%20NBA.png?width=300&height=200&name=Chris%20Paul%20golfer%20NBA.png)** **Chris Paul** Chris Paul has been one of the NBA’s premier point guards since 2005.
