#15 Patrick Mahomes

Crazy

household names, nba vs nfl — my bf and i were having a discussion on what sport has more household names. i think the nba does but he thinks the nfl. my definition pf a household name is someone who doesn't care about anything sports related but knows who they are. for the nba i said lebron, mj, steph, and kobe are household names. my bf argues "Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Aaron Rodgers, and Eli Manning they’re all just as popular if not more popular than steph" which i

[Pilgrim]: Did you know Rajon Rondo is the No. 1 flag football QB in the country? Now you do! — Source: https://www.on3.com/teams/kentucky-wildcats/news/did-you-know-rajon-rondo-is-the-no-1-flag-football-qb-in-the-country-now-you-do/ “If you have blind faith believing everything you read on the internet, Rajon Rondo is the top-ranked flag football quarterback in the country going into the fall of 2025. How? I’ve not personally found a single legitimate list of top QBs in the flag football world — or players, for that matter — but a few social media highlights featuring the former Kentuck

[FTW] Patrick Mahomes on the Luka Doncic trade: “It's more than just a basketball player, man. I've known Luka since he was 18 yrs old in Dallas, and I was like 22 yrs old. So, I'm happy for him that he got to the Lakers, a great organization, and I'm sure the sky is the limit for them there” — Source: https://ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2025/07/17/q-and-a-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-mavs-luka-high-school-football/85243416007/ I know you're a big Mavericks fan... Where were you during the Luka Dončić trade, and what has it been like to process going from that to landing Cooper Flagg? It took me a while [to process everything]. I was actually at home when the Dončić trade happened in bed like I'm sure a lot of people were, and I remember rolling over and waking my wife up to tell

SGA is the Patrick Mahomes of the NBA — He foul baits so much, He had more fts in the finals than hali did in the regular season, and apparently Ant used telekinesis to foul him. It just seems so unfair that a foul baiter with multiple games with 15+ fts should win the chip.

[Aldrige] The NBA is as talented and skilled as it’s ever been. So … why all the negativity? — [Source](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6019886/2025/04/01/nba-media-negativity-charles-barkley-shaq/?source=emp_shared_article) >Stephen Curry processed what was happening, and about to happen, in about a tenth of a second. >In his 1,009th NBA game, the future Hall of Famer curled off of a screen by Kevon Looney, in the fourth quarter against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden — an event game, in The World’s Most Famous Arena, as they like to say. Curry already had 25 points in three-plus

"When Jokic attempted a vertical leap, he jumped 17 inches. It was, according to P3, the worst vertical jump they had ever recorded." — Cool article in the Athletic about dad bods in sports featuring our very own Joker and Luka.

He was right on the fringe of a group of guards that Elliot called “Sw

Juan Soto just signed a contract with the New York Mets for 765 million over 15 years. Do you think we'll ever see contracts like this in the NBA? — My immediate answer is that it's very unlikely to happen because basketball is a much more intense sport than baseball with more contact. It's a colossal risk to sign a player long term. But what about Patrick Mahomes? Football is more intense than basketball yet he signed a 20 year contract. Sure it's not 700+ million like Soto or Ohtani but 45m a year is really good. Only [14 NBA players](https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/players.html) are making over 45m this season. So what do

Andre Iguodala has retired after 19 seasons — For nearly two decades, Andre Iguodala established a reputation as one of the N.B.A.’s most versatile players, an All-Star and Olympic gold medalist who racked up four championships with the Golden State Warriors. Now, Iguodala has told DealBook exclusively that he is retiring from pro basketball to focus on his other career: start-up investor. He will run Mosaic, a $200 million venture capital fund that he just raised with his longtime business partner, Rudy Cline-Thomas. Iguodala’s disclosur

Can Desmond Bane keep the Grizzlies afloat? — Desmond Bane is even better than you think. The Grizzly with the beach ball biceps isn’t just a shooter, although he certainly is that. Few do it better. His 7.0 three-point attempts per game were the 26th-most in the league; of players who shot more, only Klay Thompson, Buddy Hield, and Michael Porter Jr. had a better shooting percentage than Bane’s 40.8%. 40.8% is somehow the lowest percentage of Bane’s short career; he shot 43.2% as a rookie and 43.6% as a sophomore on a similar number of a

Who are the NBA equivalents of Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins and Marcus Mariota? — I just started watching Quarterback on Netflix but don’t know much about NFL. Can anyone suggest some current NBA players who are comparable to these guys?

Right now, all of the major U.S. team sports have a clear #1 player. In your opinion, when was the last time this was true? — At the moment, one would really struggle to argue that any of the below players are not the best players in their respective sports: Nikola Jokic — NBA Patrick Mahomes — NFL Shohei Ohtani — MLB Connor McDavid — NHL When was the last time, in your opinion, that all of the best players were this difficult to dispute? Edit: Apparently Jokic is not as clear as I thought. Fair enough.

The Top 100 Athletes in North American Professional Sports History — With the draft over & most of the offseason drama in the NBA over until the next season begins (Lillard trade notwithstanding), how about something interesting to debate? With this being a dry period in terms of sports going on, I came up with a very difficult but IMO solid list of the 100 greatest athletes in the history of the 4 major sports (NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL). What do you think of this? Who would you add and/or replace? Who should be higher? Who should be lower? I have Patrick Mahomes in the 1

The Difference in How Small Markets are Covered in the NBA and NFL is Incredibly Frustrating and Confusing — This has been mentioned several times in various comment sections recently due to the Nuggets rise to NBA dominance despite a stunning lack of media coverage, but it seems that, while the NBA has an inability to properly promote teams besides the Lakers, Celtics, and Warriors, the NFL has no trouble pushing any team playing good, interesting football as soon as they break out. Two parallel examples come to mind for me with this issue: The Chiefs and Nuggets. The commonalities between these two

the Milwaukee Bucks should study the Kansas City Chiefs — The Milwaukee Bucks just lost 4-1 in one of the most surprising, disappointing playoff exits in recent years. There’s a chance you can chalk it all up to injuries or bad luck - especially in a league where three point shooting adds variance - but I’d suggest the Bucks take a good, hard look themselves in the mirror. And after that, study the Kansas City Chiefs. There are some similarities between the franchises. With their own transcendent talent in Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs won the Super

[OC] 2023 Super Bowl had more viewers (113 million) than all 6 of 2022 NBA Finals games combined (87 million) — All of us, and the NBA, know that NFL is the ratings king. With Patrick Mahomes playing the number 1 seed Philadelphia Eagles, it was going to going to attract a lot of people. So it was no surprise that the Super Bowl averaged 113 million viewers this Sunday [according to Nielsens TV ratings agency](https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/13/media/super-bowl-lvii-ratings-reliable-sources/index.html). However it was still astounding for me to see that all 6 NBA games of the 2022 finals combined (86.81 mill

Who is the Patrick Mahomes of the NBA? — Patrick Mahomes just made another Super Bowl appearance, his 3rd trip in 4 seasons and it got me thinking who is the Mahomes of the NBA? For context Mahomes has 1 ring, 1 MVP, a 1-1 record in Super Bowls and now 3 Super Bowl appearances and he has made 5 straight afc championship games, he is also widely considered the best player in the NFL and makes flashy insane throws (this is obvious duh) So who is the Patrick Mahomes of the NBA?

Nationally Televised Games — Let me preface this by saying I like basketball. I like good basketball. I like to watch exciting teams do exciting things. If you count games on NBATV, the Lakers have 39 nationally televised games. They have 27 without. They’re going to be not great again. Probably, pretty bad. A lot of those games are going to be 15-20 point blowouts. Why does the NBA force big market bad basketball down our throats? They always shy away from showing their best products and then wonder why a Wolves, Pels
