Next time Steph Curry and President Barack Obama step onto the golf course, the Golden State Warriors star point guard has all the trash talk tools he needs, thanks to First Lady Michelle Obama. On Tuesday, Michelle stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss life after the White House, and handle co-hosting duties. During Steph's sit-down interview, the three talked about how the POTUS likes to talk trash to the two-time league MVP during their time on the links.
"I'll hit a shot out of bounds, and he'll just look like, 'Yeah, that's, uh, that's not a good shot. I'm gonna need you to do better next time,'" Curry said. "It gets under your skin, too." This isn't the first time Steph has talked about Obama's trash talk game. "The president was talking trash," Curry told Jimmy Kimmel. "Oh my goodness. Basically, it would be like a four-foot putt, and in the friendly games, when we're not really playing for money or anything, usually it's a gimme, you pick it up. He'd be crickets. Just silent, looking at you ... put the pressure on, that kind of deal. ... He just tries to get in your head."
This time, though, Curry got some pointers on how to get back at Barack from the woman who knows him best. "Talk about his ears," Michelle advised Steph. "As you're putting, you want to say, 'The shadow from your ears is really messing up my put. Try that one." If anyone knows how to hit him where it hurts, it's the FLOTUS. But yeah...don't you dare try that one, Steph.
