Patrick Mahomes congratulates Kyrie Irving on incredible game-winning shot vs. Nuggets

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes were on the move again this past weekend. After their appearance on Saturday, opening day at the brand-new CPKC Stadium, home of their NWSL franchise, Kansas City Current, the couple attended Sunday’s Dallas Mavericks vs. Denver Nuggets game.

The nationally televised NBA matchup had the world tuning in to see the Mahomes family walk in and sit courtside to take in the showcased matchup. Patrick is a well-noted fan of the Mavericks, who represent his hometown, so he’s made several appearances in the past, but this game had a unique finish no one could predict.

Dallas star Kyrie Irving converted a remarkable shot with his non-dominant left hand at the buzzer to seal the victory over the Nuggets. The improbable make sent the arena into a frenzy as the hometown team left the court. On the way to the locker room, Irving was greeted by Mahomes as the two exchanged handshakes.

“Greatness, Dawg, Greatness,” said Mahomes, who was also active on his social media account reposting the game-winning highlight shot.

The old saying of real recognizes real was in full effect as the two superstars of their respective sports embraced each other. The Mahomes family is enjoying their offseason and sharing it with the world as Patrick made sure to leave Mavericks All-Star guard Luka Dončić with a signed Chiefs jersey.
