LeBron James Honors Patrick Mahomes' Greatness During 'MNF'

The Kansas City Chiefs were back in the national spotlight with their primetime matchup against the New Orleans Saints Monday Night Football. As is often the case, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James watched the proceedings from home.

James couldn't help but praise Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the first half of the game, praising his ability to excel on offense despite missing some of his most productive weapons.

“KC is just such a good man! It doesn't matter who's not in the lineup as long as QB1 is there!” James posted on X.

Kansas City will be without two key offensive weapons in Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice, both of whom are out with long-term injuries and are on injured reserve. Still, Mahomes helped give the Chiefs a 16-7 halftime lead. He completed 19 of 27 passes and passed for over 200 yards by the halftime whistle, clearly keeping James happy along the way.

James' analysis was spot on. No matter who is in Kansas City, having Mahomes under center gives them a chance to win. With both Pacheco and Rice sidelined, Mahomes still passed to eight different players in the first half alone, showcasing his incredible ability to find the open man, no matter who it might be.
