Stephen Curry proved he is not the next Michael Jordan while taking batting practice with the A’s

Now that he has finally won an NBA Finals MVP, what else does Stephen Curry have left to accomplish?

After winning yet another NBA championship, the Warriors superstar has little else to prove on the basketball court. But he can still show the world that he isn’t too shabby at other sports, too.

Curry, also an avid golfer, tried his hand at baseball on Wednesday morning. He had the opportunity to take batting practice before the A’s played against the Astros at the RingCentral Coliseum in Oakland.

Watch him get some swings in while wearing a clean white A’s jersey:

A’s manager Mark Kotsay joked that Curry was “late” for batting practice, and so he won’t get any playing time against the Astros.

You can see another angle of the swings by clicking here. Upon further review, maybe Curry isn’t going to follow in the lineage of Michael Jordan and try to play baseball professionally any time soon.

But it looks like he enjoyed a nice conversation with Astros manager Dusty Baker, and the Houston players appeared excited to meet the NBA star.

This video did make me wonder how Curry’s teammate, Klay Thompson, would look at the batter’s box. Klay’s brother, Trayce Thompson, recently had a huge RBI for the Dodgers.
