Mahomes’ message was sent on social media
PATRICK Mahomes shared a brief message during his NFL offseason, and fans were left baffled.
But Kansas City Chiefs fans don’t need to be alarmed about the three-time Super Bowl MVP’s message.
Mahomes and the Chiefs will have to continue to reflect on their disappointing Super Bowl 59 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in February.
The Chiefs will hope to recover from the big game as the offseason is in full swing.
Mahomes turned heads with a recent comment on X, but it wasn’t about anything NFL-related.
“Wow!!” the 29-year-old wrote along with two laughing emojis on social media on Tuesday night.
Fans were stunned by the random comment, with one writing to Mahomes, “What’s so funny?”
But Mahomes was simply reacting to Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton’s game-winning three to give his team a 120-119 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the NBA playoffs.
The Pacers pulled off a double-digit comeback and now lead 2-0 in the series, as Mahomes summed up what everyone was thinking in the aftermath of Haliburton’s massive shot.
Fans figured out Mahomes’ meaning behind his message and reacted to Haliburton’s three-pointer with 1.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
“That finish was absolutely incredible,” one wrote.
“Haliburton is the goat,” a second commented.
“Lucky shot,” a third said.
“We need Tyrese in Dallas Pat,” a fourth joked.
The last comment referenced Mahomes’ fandom of the Dallas Mavericks.
Mahomes is from Texas and played college football at Texas Tech, of course.
Unfortunately for Mahomes, he hasn’t been able to comment on the Mavs this postseason, with the NBA squad absent from the playoffs.

Nonetheless, Mahomes can continue to follow the NBA playoffs as the NFL offseason continues.
He can then have the opportunity to participate in the first phase of the Chiefs’ offseason team activities (OTA), which begin later this month.
The Chiefs will hope to return to the Super Bowl in the upcoming season for the sixth time since 2020.
