So, Travis Kelce wanted to know all about LeBron’s bond with Kevin Hart. “Kev is one of my best friends man. When it comes to this and when we get on set, we have a script. And then it gets to the point where, we’re just like, ‘Man let’s just riff, and let’s see what comes out of it.’ Whatever comes out of it, it’s out chemistry,” James shared.
Meanwhile, LeBron James has also shared his thoughts on Patrick Mahomes. His idea could be a hit at Tom Brady’s status as the greatest Quarterback of all time.

LeBron James gives strong verdict on Patrick Mahomes
“I think Pat Mahomes is obviously one of the greatest ever to play the sport,” LeBron James said in a clip for DraftKings. “He can do everything, he can throw the ball in the pocket and can go three-step drops. He can go five-step drops and can roll out on scrambles and make passes.” Bron further added: “He can throw sidearm and he can throw cross-body. You know, the NFL rule is don’t throw across the field or throw across your body. He’s an exception to the rule because of how great he is.”
The 40-year-old couldn’t help but compare the two. He called the Chiefs’ star a game-changer, just like himself. In fact, he pointed out that Mahomes has already achieved more in seven years than James did in his first seven seasons. Quite the compliment, right? “I think the best parallel that I would say between Pat Mahomes and myself in our first seven years is that we just kind of just changed the way we, you know, you kind of view the game,” James added. “He’s doing a hell of a lot better than I did in my first seven years. I think that he got, what, three chips already?”
