Patrick Mahomes Roots Against LeBron James’ Lakers as Jamal Murray’s Winner Powers Nuggets to a Round 1 Playoffs Win

When the game’s on the line, you want a clutch player who can throw a dime, and Jamal Murray proved he’s exactly that. With the clock winding down, Murray took the rock and dropped a game-winner that had everyone from the nosebleeds to the VIP seats—and even NFL’s Patrick Mahomes—going wild.

Mahomes, the maestro of the gridiron, couldn’t resist showing love for Murray’s magic. “Great game! Big time shot! #NBAPlayoffs,” he tweeted, as Murray’s jumper sealed the deal for the Nuggets over the Lakers. It was a play that echoed the thrill of a last-minute touchdown, and Mahomes, a man who knows a thing or two about game-changing plays, tipped his cap to the Nuggets’ star.

The final score read Nuggets 108, Lakers 106, with Denver pulling off a stunning comeback to clinch the series. Murray scored 32 points, proving he’s not just a regular-season player but a postseason phenom. It’s like he’s got that Super Bowl energy, turning up when it matters most.

LeBron and the Lakers might have felt like they were sacked on their turf, but this game was more than just a win or loss. It was a showcase of sportsmanship and the sheer excitement that comes when top athletes shine. Mahomes knows that feeling, and for a moment, he was just another fan, reveling in the spectacle of sport.

Mahomes, the Chiefs’ star quarterback, isn’t just making plays on the field; he’s also driving the green and shooting hoops for a cause. Recently, Mahomes hosted the “15 and the Mahomies Vegas Golf Classic,” a charity event in Las Vegas, where participants enjoyed a weekend of golf at the renowned Shadow Creek Golf Course. The event, known for its lush greenery and challenging play, was more than just a game; it was a chance for Mahomes to give back, with proceeds supporting children’s health and education initiatives.
