Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes made headlines by drawing a fascinating comparison between himself and Golden State Warriors’ sharpshooter, Stephen Curry.
While Mahomes is known for his arm strength and football prowess, his admiration for Curry’s basketball skills sheds light on the multi-talented athlete within him.
During Super Bowl LVIII Media Day, Mahomes boldly stated that if he were to play basketball, he’d emulate none other than Stephen Curry. His reasoning? Mahomes believes he’s already “got the shot.” The Chiefs’ star quarterback acknowledges that he’d need more reps to shoot like the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers, but the confidence is unmistakable.
“If I played basketball, I’d be just like Stephen Curry. I mean, I’ve got the shot. A couple of extra reps, and I’d be shooting just like him. I mean that’s who I’d be.”
“If I played basketball, I’d be just like @StephenCurry30.”
