When you think of Caitlin Clark and LeBron James, basketball greatness likely comes to mind. But as it turns out, these two superstars share a surprising dream that has nothing to do with the hardwood. In a recent interview ahead of the Indiana Fever's season opener, Clark opened up about her growing friendship with the Lakers legend—and revealed a bucket-list goal that fans didn't see coming: golf.

"We text about golf," Clark told ESPN's Malika Andrews with a smile. "That's next on our bucket list, is to play golf together."

The Fever star didn't shy away from keeping it real about their potential skills on the course. "I'm not sure either of us are too great and we might be chasing the ball a lot," she added. "But I think basketball players just like the mental challenge of an individual sport like golf."

It's a refreshing glimpse into the bond these two have built over the past two years—a connection that goes far beyond the game. Long before Clark became the face of the Fever franchise, James was one of her earliest high-profile supporters. He publicly congratulated her after she shattered the NCAA all-time scoring record and has continued to have her back through the highs and lows of her early WNBA career.

That support became especially meaningful during Clark's injury-plagued 2025 season. While she dealt with multiple setbacks that limited her time on the court, James personally checked in on her. According to Clark, the four-time NBA champion even offered to connect her with people who could help during her recovery process.

"LeBron has just been there to support me more than anything," Clark said. "He understands the microscope that I'm under, and the spotlight that's on me."

Whether they're trading text messages about golf swings or navigating the pressures of superstardom, it's clear that Clark and James share a mutual respect that transcends the sport. And while their golf game might need some work, their friendship is already a hole-in-one.
