Patrick Mahomes rooting for Anthony Edwards and Minnesota Timberwolves against Lakers

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves are taking the fight to LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and the Los Angeles Lakers. That fight has resulted in four great games, and fans are excited to see how the series ends.

The Timberwolves took the first game to knock the Lakers off at their own arena. Then in Game 2, the Lakers came back to tie the series, knowing the next two games were on the road. The Wolves took game 3 easily after Luka Doncic struggled with a stomach bug, which left the rest of the team struggling to match the Wolves’ scoring.

After resting and recovering, Doncic came back with a vengeance. He scored 38 points in Game 4, hoping to win and return home with the series tied. Watching this unfold was basketball fan and NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes. During the game, he made his intentions clear on which side he was rooting for.

No wayyy! Come on ant!

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is a die-hard fan of the Dallas Mavericks. He was dumbfounded when his favorite NBA team traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. But at the same time, he knows that the Lakers swindled his Mavs.

He knows that the situation in Dallas has a lot to do with how the Lakers managed not to give up much. Had they received fair value for Doncic, Mavs fans would not be as frustrated as they are. Maybe that is why he was rooting for Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves to win Game 4. He probably wants to see the Lakers join his Mavs in Cancun soon.

Patrick Mahomes enjoying playoff basketball

The three-time Super Bowl champion might want the Los Angeles Lakers to lose their first-round playoff series. But he is a basketball fan through and through, and has been enjoying the NBA playoffs now that he is resting at home.

Playoff basketball been great this year!

Patrick Mahomes wrote

The two-time NFL MVP was ecstatic to watch high-level basketball all across the playoffs. The Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers might be running away with wins. But all the other series are still alive, and every team still has a chance to reach the next round.

This has not happened in some time, where more than half the playoff teams have a chance to win. That is why the 2025 NBA playoffs have enthralled basketball fans. Now Mahomes should hope that this competition continues in the next rounds.

This season’s NBA playoffs can help league win back a lot of fans

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are looking at a possible early exit from the playoffs. But he has orchestrated the only time a team came back down from 1-3 in the NBA Finals. It is possible that the team digs deep and upsets the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Whatever the outcome, whoever moves on will face either the Houston Rockets or Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. That in itself is exciting enough for fans to take time out to watch the games. The same story will develop on the other side of the West bracket, after the Nuggets levelled the series.

In the Eastern Conference, a classic battle between the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks is taking place. Whoever wins will face the reigning champion Boston Celtics. That will be electric enough even before it reaches the Conference Finals.

With such stellar games on hand, Adam Silver might be rubbing his hands in glee, knowing many fans who deserted the league due to boring regular-season play might be coming back to witness exciting playoff basketball.
