Luka Doncic and the NBA communicty were hyped for Super Bowl LVIII. Several basketball stars expressed their excitement to watch the battle royale between the San Francisco 49ers and the defending champs Kansas City Chiefs. On Sunday, some of basketball’s biggest names tuned in to watch the two teams battle for the Lombardi Trophy.

The 49ers and the Chiefs gave everyone who watched a treat particularly in the fourth quarter and overtime.

With Taylor Swift in the stands, the Chiefs grabbed their third title in five years after beating the same opponents they met four years ago.

Luka Doncic must have been at a loss for words as he could only come up with this:

LA Lakers legend Magic Johnson had more information than Huerter and Doncic combined:

“Patrick Mahomes worked his late-game magic once again to seal a 25-22 Super Bowl overtime win over the 49ers! Back-to-back wins for the Chiefs and he earned his third MVP award…WOW”

A few more tossed in their reactions:

The Patrick Mahomes magic had been there since the playoffs. NBA players had already been giving him a shoutout for his postseason performances this year. He rallied the Kansas City Chiefs on the road against the Buffalo Bills and repeated it versus the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship.

At Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the quarterback had to bounce back from a so-so start to drag his team to yet another Vince Lombardi Trophy. Mahomes’ pass to Mecole Hardman in overtime made the Chiefs the kings of pro football again.
