NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes is already preparing for the 2025 season, but in the meantime, he's enjoying other sports. Mahomes is an avid basketball fan who has been seen supporting the Dallas Mavericks courtside.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback's team isn't in the 2025 NBA playoffs, but he's watching how the postseason unfolds and whether the Boston Celtics will retain their title or be dethroned.
Outside of the Cleveland Cavaliers-Miami Heat (3-0) and the Oklahoma City Thunder-Memphis Grizzlies (4-0) series, the NBA playoffs have been competitive and entertaining.
Many fans had something to say about the dramatic New York Knicks' 94-93 win over the Detroit Pistons to start the Sunday four-game slate.
Amid an entertaining day for basketball fans, the three-time Super Bowl champion took to X to send a six-word message about the NBA playoffs, labeling them as "great."
"Playoff basketball been great this year!" the veteran playmaker tweeted.
This message could also refer to the 2025 NCAA tournaments that featured competitive matchups, dramatic wins and huge passion for the game.
Mahomes' Texas Tech almost went on a Cinderella run, going all the way to the Elite Eight, where the eventual champions, Florida Gators, sent them home 84-79. The Final Four was even better, with Florida fighting hard to beat Auburn (79-73) and Houston (65-63) to win the national championship.
The early stages of the 2025 NBA playoffs have featured more entertaining games, including the Denver Nuggets' 112-110 overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 1, the Knicks' 118-116 win over the Pistons in Game 3 and the Magic's 95-93 victory over the Celtics in Game 3.
Mahomes is fired up about all these games, even if his team isn't competing.
