Basketball necessitates greater individual skill than the NFL, so it is not justified for Patrick Mahomes to compare himself with Stephen Curry.
Patrick Mahomes drawing a comparison between himself and Stephen Curry has caused amusement among basketball enthusiasts (image via NFL/GSW/X).
It is a rare occurrence for an NFL player to draw a comparison between themselves and a basketball player. Despite many football players having experience playing basketball, it is uncommon for them to compare themselves with one of the greats. Therefore, when NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes compared himself with Stephen Curry, it left basketball fans amused. Particularly, fans from the Bay Area, who deeply admire their basketball superstar, were unconvinced.
Stephen Curry, the superstar of the Golden State Warriors, has won four championships, while Patrick Mahomes has won two. During the NFL’s Super Bowl opening night, Mahomes was asked which basketball player he sees himself resembling. He responded:
The comparison made by Mahomes received attention and surprised reactions from basketball fans. After all, Curry has established himself as one of the all-time greats. Despite winning two Super Bowls in four years, Mahomes has yet to reach that level of acclaim.
Stephen Curry played a crucial role in building the Warriors dynasty. His exceptional shooting skills and clutch performances were the driving force behind the Warriors breaking the record for the most wins in a single season. As the all-time leading scorer for three-pointers, Curry has consistently been the team’s primary scoring option. Throughout his career, he has single-handedly won games for the Warriors.
Patrick Mahomes, on the other hand, plays American football, a sport that requires a team of 53 players. Even the starting lineup consists of 22 players, which is twice the number of players on an NBA team. Both sides must contribute to winning the game. In order for Curry and other basketball players to have a chance at winning, they must play for at least 70% of the game. On average, Mahomes does not even play half a game. Additionally, he relies on his offensive teammates to score.
The issue with the Kansas City Chiefs superstar comparing himself to Stephen Curry is that basketball fans also follow the NFL. They are aware that Mahomes’ legacy has been aided by several players, coaches, and the current state of the league.
Curry has fought for over 16 seasons to win four championships, whereas Mahomes has achieved two championships in the seven seasons he has played in the league, with the help of the aforementioned individuals. As a result, basketball fans have shared their opinions on social media. Take a look at some of their reactions below:
Lmfao Lebron fans won’t like this 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol, this lacks so much self-awareness that it’s not even funny. Sigh. He’s nowhere near Steph Curry.
LeBron fans in the comments right now when Mahomes denied the forced LeBron comparisons.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nice try dude 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Mahomes is more similar to LeBron. Purdy is more similar to Steph.
Slow down there, Patrick!! 😆
Mahomes may believe he is the equivalent of Stephen Curry, but it is not that simple. Basketball fans have just reminded him of that.
