Some famous faces were in attendance at the Staples Center last night when the Los Angeles Lakers took on the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers ended up coming out on top by a score of 125-119. It was a pretty entertaining game that featured LeBron James drop 33 points. He was a force all game long and it was good to finally see the Lakers perform up to their potential. One of the people in attendance for the game was none other than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes played his first full season in the NFL in 2018 and impressed the world, notching 50 touchdowns. He ended up winning league MVP for his efforts.

After the game, Mahomes took to Twitter where he commented on James who had hit a big three-point shot late in the game to seal the deal.
