The football season is upon us, and the talks about the Kansas City Chiefs’ three-peat are loud. They even started their season on the right foot, without any controversy in their 27-20 win. Although Isaiah Likely’s touchdown was overruled as his toe landed on the sideline after he made the catch, the clock ran out, and the game concluded 27-20 in the Chiefs’ favor. Patrick Mahomes was once again instrumental and Kevin Garnett highlights what makes him stand out as one of the best QB ever.

Speaking about the QBs, KG stated that it’s the first time that 15 black QBs will be in the NFL. And that appreciation goes to Mahomes for being the flag bearers for the Quarterbacks. “You got to have a certain type of intelligence to play football,” Garnett stated on All The Smoke.

“I don’t care how big you are, I don’t care how fast you are, there’s a certain type of intelligence that come with sports, bro, that don’t get talked about that really to me makes Pat Mahomes who the fu** he is,” he added. Kevin Garnett also explained how the 3x Super Bowl champion has changed the game with his intelligence.

“If you ain’t throwing it behind your back, if you ain’t no looking. If you ain’t doing these things now, bro, you ain’t going to be able to be the new type of quarterback,” said Garnett. He even claimed that he only saw Mahomes being the first QB to try a no-look pass, and his co-host The Truth agreed, ” Jesus, he is just making up stuff out there.” They even had a debate if Mahomes could lead his team to create history.

Kevin Garnett has other contenders apart from the Chiefs

Paul Pierce stated that the current NFL champions look solid and can definitely rely on Mahomes and Travis Kelce as a duo to solve any internal issues. “I’m saying and they can keep everybody locked in,” said Pierce. But when it came to predictions, both The Big Ticket and The Truth had other teams in mind over the Chiefs.

No doubt the Kansas side is the odds-on favorite for the three-peat, but Kevin Garnett felt the 49ers and Texans have a chance, thanks to C. J. Stroud. Pierce feels that the Baltimore Ravens have a chance as well as they once again lost a close game, trying to stop the Chiefs. Not just him, but LeBron James too felt highly about the Ravens’ chances.

He predicted them to win the first game, which was not a bad call in hindsight seeing how close the game was. The Lakers superstar even predicted them to compete in the Super Bowl. New Orleans will host this year’s Super Bowl, and from now until February lot can change. We can hope that the NBA legends stand on their predictions. Which one do you agree with?
