Patrick Mahomes Sr. stood out from the crowd, sporting a Chiefs’ varsity jacket and a beanie. What caught everyone’s eye, though, was his unique way of celebrating the win. Cameras captured him, enjoying the moment with a premium cigar in hand while laughing and chatting with reporters.
After the game, the former MLB pitcher, Patrick Mahomes Sr., overflowing with excitement and still holding his Cuban Cigar, joyfully talked about his son’s journey to another Super Bowl. He expressed unwavering pride in Mahomes’ achievements since the early days of playing football.
The conversation took a playful turn when the reporter brought up the prospect of his son entering a third Super Bowl. Mahomes Sr. responded confidently, envisioning not just three but a cascade of future victories for the Chiefs star quarterback. He stated,
“Oh, we going for three and then we’re gonna go for 4,5,6,7,8,9! You know, we’re gonna keep on playing the game. And that’s what we do.”
His celebration echoed that of a great athlete, unmistakably resembling LeBron James. In 2020, after leading the Los Angeles Lakers to an NBA championship, LeBron celebrated uniquely, enjoying a premium cigar at the post-game press conference.
The Lakers star’s festivities didn’t stop there. Later, he was spotted speaking to his mother on FaceTime while lying on the floor outside the locker room, still savoring a cigar.
In another classic NBA moment, Michael Jordan, the star of the Chicago Bulls, prepared for Game 6 of the 1993 NBA Finals in a way that only he could. With a beer in hand, a cigar, and an aura of confidence, he seemed set on winning the 1993 Championship in just six games, declaring to the passengers of the flight he was in that he “didn’t pack for two games.” True to his words, the Chicago Bulls triumphed over the Phoenix Suns, concluding the tournament 4 games to 2.
These moments etched themselves as icons in NBA history. Moreover, Mahomes Sr.’s celebration, while not for a championship, garnered attention, marking his son’s AFC title win. Moving on, the excitement grows, hinting at an even more spectacular celebration if the Chiefs clinch the Super Bowl victory.
