"He playing the wrong sport": Fans react to Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes' high school basketball clip

Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes is widely regarded as the best player at his position in the NFL. He is a three-time Super Bowl champion and a two-time league MVP. However, he had one of his worst games as a professional football player in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Before Super Bowl LIX, The Shot Clock.Show shared a post highlighting Mahomes' basketball exploits in high school. Mahomes averaged 20.0 points per game during his junior year, according to the post.

Fans were surprised to learn about his basketball skills and claimed he should've become a professional basketball player instead of playing in the NFL.

"Maybe I would’ve liked him if he played basketball," one fan wrote in the comments section of the post.

"He said I'm only passing during football szn," another fan wrote.

"He’s just him," another fan wrote.
