The caption of a recently posted video on the Dallas Mavericks’ Twitter account read, “It?s Super Bowl Sunday so we asked the guys their predictions: Eagles or Chiefs?” In the video, when Christian Wood was asked to choose the team that he thought would win the Super Bowl, the absent-minded Mavericks star ended up naming Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, the camera panned towards Luka Doncic. When the 2019 Rookie of the Year was asked to name his Super Bowl pick, Doncic stated, “Chiefs. Gotta go with my guy Mahomes.”
