Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, is often seen courtside at Dallas Mavericks games, cheering for his friend Luka Doncic. Known for his exceptional talent in football, Mahomes has become a significant supporter of the Mavericks, earning the moniker of the team’s “sixth man.”

Mahomes, a native Texan born in Tyler, has embraced his dual identity as a Texan and a Kansas City citizen. Despite his commitment to the Chiefs, where he has become an NFL legend, Mahomes makes time to support his favorite childhood teams: the Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, and Stars.

During his school years at Whitehouse High School in Texas, Mahomes excelled in multiple sports, including baseball, basketball, and football. Although he could have pursued a professional baseball career, he chose football, eventually joining the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs via the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Mahomes’s relationship with the Dallas Mavericks deepened through his friendship with team owner Mark Cuban. He often secures front-row seats at the American Airlines Center by simply texting Cuban. This close relationship allows Mahomes to support the Mavericks regularly, especially during important games.

Mahomes, often accompanied by his wife Brittany, attends Mavericks games whenever possible. His presence is a morale boost for the team, and he enjoys a special bond with players like Luka Doncic, Tim Hardaway Jr., and A. J. Lawson. Cuban and Mahomes’ interactions are warm and respectful, highlighting the mutual admiration between the NFL star and the Mavericks owner.

Mahomes admires Cuban’s business acumen and hopes to learn from him. This admiration has influenced Mahomes’s business ventures, including his minority ownership stake in the Kansas City Royals and investments in technology companies like Hyperice and Whoop.
