Rare throwback footage shows young Patrick Mahomes sinking improbable game winner and dominating another sport

Mahomes is now a three-time Super Bowl champion and MVP, who’s become the new face of the NFL and helped the Kansas City Chiefs create a dynasty.

But what’s not nearly as well known about Mahomes is his basketball background.

The 28-year-old quarterback regularly tweets about the NBA and often focuses on Dallas Mavericks star forward Luka Doncic.

Mahomes was born in Tyler, Texas.

He also played college football and baseball at Texas Tech in Lubbock, so the Mavs fandom makes sense, especially considering that Kansas City doesn’t have an NBA team.

But few were previously aware of Showtime’s skills on the hardwood.

That changed on Wednesday, when the Chiefs posted an old, grainy video of a very young Mahomes sinking a game-winning shot.

Playing in a mostly empty large gym and wearing a yellow jersey, Mahomes dribbled the ball up court before unleashing a long throw that somehow sailed through the basket.

His form was fantastic, while his accuracy was top notch.
