Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes is a big Dallas Mavericks fan

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks are playing Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday night. This is a highly anticipated series, as there is quite a bit of star power on each side. While a lot of the attention will of course be on Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic, both superstars have several teammates that have stepped up this postseason.

Game 1 was very close at halftime, with both teams getting solid contributions from their best players. This is exactly how this series projects to play out, with both teams expecting huge performances from their stars.

Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes is from Texas, and is a big Mavericks fan. Tuned in for Game 1, Mahomes shared the following post on X (formerly known as Twitter):

One of the most popular active athletes, Mahomes has 2.4M followers on X, and nearly everything he posts goes viral. After just a half hour, his Tweet during Game 1 has accumulated over 65,000 views.

Very excited for his Mavericks, Mahomes wants to see this group make a run to the NBA Finals. This series could very well be decided by which team gets the most help for their stars, as both Minnesota and Dallas have had key role players step up throughout the playoffs. This is especially the case for Dallas, as players like PJ Washington and Derrick Jones Jr. have broken out this postseason in different ways.

One of the more highly anticipated matchups this postseason, Dallas vs. Minnesota is off to a fun start.
