As a 15-year NBA veteran, Ron Harper has a good idea of the highs and lows that come with being a pro athlete. Following their failure to complete a three-peat, he took to social media to sound off on one key member of the Kansas City Chiefs.
On Sunday night, the Chiefs took the field in New Orleans in hopes of cementing themselves as a dynasty. They faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles, who they played in the Super Bowl two years prior, looking to secure a third straight title. While Patrick Mahomes and company walked away victorious in the last meeting, it wasn't the case this time.
After the Eagles' 40-22 win, Chiefs star Travis Kelce was seen fighting tears as he headed to the locker room. Ron Harper reacted to a clip of that on X (formerly Twitter) showing no sympathy for the All-Pro tight end.

This was an emotional game for Kelce for many reasons. Not only did he have a chance to be part of history, but it's unknown how much time left he has in the NFL. At age 35, there was speculation leading up to the Super Bowl that it could be Kelce's last career game. As of now, he hasn't made any decisions regarding his future.
As for Harper, he was fortunate to have a lot of success on the game's biggest stage during his NBA career. He won three championships alongside Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls and went on to win two more titles with the LA Lakers.

As one of the biggest spectacles in all of sports, the Super Bowl is always a star-studded affair. Among those in attendance to see the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles was President Donald Trump.

It didn't take long for the photo of Trump and Jones to go viral online. Ron Harper was among those to react to the post, claiming that this encounter is why the Chiefs didn't come away with a win.
"That’s why they lost," Harper wrote.
