It’s not even been a year since the San Francisco fans suffered a heartbreak in the Super Bowl. And the main culprit behind this is none other than the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes. Symbolically, the 29-year-old quarterback completed a 3-yard touchdown to seal the deal against the 49ers. Months later, the Bay Area fans had another heartbreak when Klay Thompson left the Warriors. Now that the Stephen Curry-led team is on a rebuild, a sophomore star rubs salt in the wounds with his affinity toward Mahomes!

We are talking about Brandin Podziemski, a 21-year-old Wisconsin native. This young guard quickly made a name for himself in the Dubs fold, especially with his magic on the defensive end. While some rookies struggle to even make it to the rotation despite their skill set, Podz has established himself under Coach Kerr’s leadership, starting 28 out of 74 games in his rookie season and averaging 9.2 ppg.

As much as the love and recognition that Brandin Podziemski built with the Warriors’ nation, he’s tried to gamble it all at once. Ahead of the Dubs’ matchup against the LA Clippers at the Chase Center, Podz walked in with an uncanny outfit…

The guard, who is in the second year of his $16.2 million rookie contract, pulled up to the high-profile hoops game donning a Patrick Mahomes jersey. Strangely, the 21-year-old looked like a spitting image of the football legend himself!

While Brandin Podziemski casually showcased his love for the Chiefs‘ quarterback, it definitely didn’t sit well with the Dub Nation, as they took to the comments, expressing their restraint personally. Let’s take a closer look at fans’ sentiments.

Many Warriors fans had urged that Brandin Podziemski be shown the door

After the repeated setbacks, the Warriors fold finally seemed to have brought a ray of hope to the Bay Area’s sporting legacy. The team swept the pre-season, winning all five games, and also started off the regular season on a positive note. Amid this positive situation, fans would never want to see a backtrack and that’s exactly when Podziemski pulled up with a Pat Mahomes jersey. Reacting to it, a fan wrote, “Wtf Are You Doing.” This, however, is one of the lighter comments on display.

A majority of the fans wanted Steve Kerr to take immediate action. A fan wrote, “Bench his a**” With already a stacked roster with a lot of role players, the head coach is struggling to allocate minutes to all his players. Especially after the inclusion of Buddy Hield and De’Anthony Melton, guards like Moses Moody and Podz find it difficult to get more minutes. So this fan’s request might actually work.

On the other hand, some of the fans went a little overboard and asked for a drastic call. A fan wrote, “Oh my goodness, off the team rn, JK I love my pookie Podz.” While this fan went easy on the sophomore star, another fan wrote without any hesitation, “Trade him.” 

Well, looking at the Golden State Warriors’ situation, Steve Kerr might look to trade some of his assets, ahead of the deadline to bring in a superstar. However, as of now, the team is working fine. Anyway, many from the community didn’t find anything offensive, as they welcomed Brandin Podziemski’s love for Patrick Mahomes. What do you think? Did Podz breach the sanctity? Let us know.
