At the American Century Championship golf tournament, celebrities Stephen Curry and Justin Timberlake danced while competing on the course together with a famous sitcom star.
NBA star Stephen Curry and singer Justin Timberlake appear to have forged a bond as the two compete in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament. The two celebs were joined by Alfonso Ribeiro of “Fresh Prince” fame to take on the course at Lake Tahoe, Nevada. In a viral highlight, the three stars ended up doing Ribeiro’s famous dance “The Carlton,” named after his awkward-but-popular “Fresh Prince of Bel Air” character.

According to SFGate, the trio showed off their skills impressively when it came to the golf game too. Ribeiro was said to be the best of the three stars on the course, but it appears Timberlake and Curry hit it off particularly well. The two seemed to bond on the course, and even though he’s a Memphis Grizzlies diehard fan, Timberlake gave praise to Steph for being a good guy and even semi-forgave him for hitting a huge shot against the Grizz.

While Ribeiro provided the dance moves and better golf skills it was Curry and Timberlake getting the most attention as they walked the course. There were either bunches of kids in Warriors jerseys looking for the two-time MVP, or female fans gazing at the former boy band member, Justin Timberlake.
It’s obvious that Ribeiro won the dance contest but his counterparts didn’t do so horrible with it. The best part of all of this is the fact that Curry seems to be putting his recent NBA Finals loss behind him as he has some fun out on the golf course with fellow celebrities.
