Patrick Mahomes II has been compared to Michael Jordan after leading the Kansas City Chiefs to back-to-back championships. After Kansas won three rings over the past six seasons, former NFL quarterback Tony Romo compared the Chiefs superstar to the Chicago Bulls legend.
After previous comparisons to Steph Curry, Mahomes’ accomplishment puts Romo in the same league as the greatest player in NBA history. Romo’s comments came after the Chiefs scored a game-winning touchdown.
Romo went on the air to explain Mahomes’ efforts in the Chiefs’ game-winning drive, and he didn’t mince words:
•
“He’s the best. He’s the standard. “He’s Michael Jordan! “
Mahomes’ overtime rushing touchdown will be remembered as one of the greatest moments of his career. It was also his second win in two seasons, and he tied it for his third Super Bowl appearance.
It was an entertaining game in which the quarterback caught some big passes and had two first downs on the final drive of overtime.
His final encounter with Mecole Hardman resulted in a spectacular touchdown and the Chiefs won another Super Bowl. KC ended up winning 25-22 with 333 yards and two touchdowns.
Despite being a different sport, it still makes sense to compare quarterbacks to Michael Jordan. In the early 1990s, Jordan led the Bulls to three consecutive championships, and Mahomes followed a similar career trajectory. Like the Bulls icon, Patrick Mahomes has clutch genes and the ability to make plays in big games.
Patrick Mahomes explains if he played basketball, he would be like Stephen Curry
By his own admission, Patrick Mahomes would be like Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry if he played basketball. The three-time NFL MVP spoke on opening night of the Super Bowl and said he would be like Steph Curry if he chose the hardwood instead of the football field.
“If I played basketball, I would be like Steph Curry. I mean, I got shot. I just have to do it a few more times, get a few more shots up, and then I can shoot like him. I am such a person. “
Curry’s role is that of a point guard who, like the quarterback, runs the offense and calls the shots, making it natural for Mahomes to equate himself with a guard as mercurial as he is.
With this win, Patrick Mahomes will be compared to some of the greatest players in sports, the latest of which is Michael Jordan. After four Super Bowl appearances in five seasons, it was only natural that a similar situation with Tom Brady would follow.
