However, NBA fans made the case that the Golden State Warriors guard is better than Mahomes:

Looking at Curry, his resume stands out as one of the most accomplished ones in NBA history. Steph Curry is a four-time NBA champion and a nine-time All-Star. The Warriors star is the only player in NBA history with over 3K career three-pointers.

However, both he and Patrick Mahomes are two-time MVPs in their respective leagues. When it comes to being electric, the Chiefs star has proven he can light up NFL defenses with his talent.


Why Patrick Mahomes could be more electric than Steph Curry

At 27 years old, Mahomes won both his second Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP in Super Bowl LVII. The two-time All-Pro has thrown for at least 4,000 yards in four of his five seasons in the NFL. In the 2022 season, he threw for 5,000 yards for the second time in his career. His 5,250 yards is the fourth-most thrown in a season in NFL history.

The true separation between Patrick Mahomes and Steph Curry is the total number of championships to their names. As mentioned earlier, Mahomes has two Super Bowls while Curry has four NBA titles. However, the Chiefs star is young enough to catch the Warriors guard in the championship department.

Without question, both players have changed the game in their leagues. Mahomes might have the edge because of age and the pace he is on to challenge the greatest quarterback of all-time, Tom Brady.

For the time being, NFL and NBA fans are just sitting back and watching the greatness.
