With the season moving forward to the decisive stage, bets are coming in. Not only the football fans, but NBA legends are also giving their perspectives on the biggest contenders of the Super Bowl. Even in this season, Patrick Mahomes’s team is going undefeated with 9-0 after week 10. But an NBA legend has made a wild prediction. Crazy!

Draymond Green recently appeared on the Schultz Report show where he gave his views on the Chiefs. While talking about the playoffs, he said, “The Kansas City Chiefs will lose the first playoff game they play.” It’s enough to make Chiefdom crazy. But wait, there’s a lot more here.

When Schultz reminded him of more experienced players like Marquise ‘Hollywood ‘ Brown and Juju Smith-Schuster getting healthy and back to the locker room, he took the discussion in a different direction. The power forward claimed that it doesn’t necessarily make them a winning team. But he admitted that it would give them an edge, by making them a more talented, more capable side. His statement “They’re winning coz they know how to win,” is enough to show that he is also not rejecting Patrick Mahomes’s team.

However, Green warned the Grim Reaper that different teams are in tough situations now and are improving their performance, but maintained that the Chiefs aren’t improving. That’s a very strange claim, especially the way the Chiefs have shown their mettle in pressure against the Bengals, the Bucs, and the Broncos. Having a 9-0 record isn’t a simple task. The Chiefs have worked their way through it. Also, he didn’t say they wouldn’t win the Super Bowl. It means he also understands they have the players who can go all the way.

Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid must be listening to him. Last time, another NBA legend made a similar claim, which they proved wrong.

The story of the Patrick Mahomes & Co. proving an NBA Legend wrong

Let’s go back to early 2024. The Chiefs had qualified for the Super Bowl LVIII and faced the 49ers. Both teams were eager to win the trophy. Suddenly, an interview with Stephen Curry went viral. Supporting his home team, the NBA great had predicted that the 49ers would win.

However, he had said that he was good friends with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce as they played the celebrity golf game at Lake Tahoe. And it wouldn’t upset him if the Chiefs won. However, his final statement was, “In my household, this is a win-win kind of vibe. But obviously…the hometown team.” Alas, he was proven wrong. In the Super Bowl LVIII, Mahomes and co. crushed the Niners’ empire in a tough game.

This year also, they have a long way to go before the playoffs. They still have to play 8 games before the playoffs. Since Green directly commented on the playoff loss, is he trying to say that they would remain undefeated? Chiefdom would be waiting for their chance to troll him back.
