Kansas City Chiefs’ star quarterback and three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes has set his sights on one goal: the historic three-peat. Mahomes is shrugging off anything the outside world wants to say about who he is or what his motives or.

The Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, quickly transitioned from fan favorites to the NFL’s most polarizing team after claiming their second Super Bowl title in February 2023. Although, the Chiefs were predicted not to make a similar run last year, they went up and against the San Francisco 49ers and returned the Lombardi once again – exceeding all expectations.

When asked about the shift in how the average NFL fan views the Chiefs ahead of last year’s Super Bowl, Mahomes gave a careful response. He downplayed the idea of using the negativity as motivation, but he acknowledged that he still felt the need to embrace the role of being the team others love to hate.

I just like winning. If you win a lot and that causes you to be a villain, then I’m okay with it. But at the end of the day, I’m gonna enjoy playing the game and try to win as much as possible.

Patrick Mahomes said

The Kansas City Chiefs finished their 2024 season with 15 wins, losing only twice, once to Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos. After securing the No. 1 seed, Mahomes and co. are returning to action after a long and well-rested break. The Chiefs are playing the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round of the NFL postseason.

Amid this metoric rise, Mahomes is being compared to the legendary Tom Brady, who won seven Super Bowls in his career. James pointed out that Mahomes seems to be on a path to rival Brady’s legacy.

I think Pat Mahomes is obviously one of the greatest ever to play the sport. He can do everything… You know, the NFL rule is don’t throw across the field or throw across your body. He’s an exception to the rule because of how great he is.

LeBron James said

In the interview, James noted that he and Mahomes are two peas in the same pod – the pod being both of them were able to change the mindset of the people on what’s possible. He went on to express that Mahomes is performing even better than he did, winning three rings in his first seven years. In his long and illustrious career, James has won the championship four times – the first coming after a decade in the league.
