Draymond Green chirps with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce over '3-1' jokes
There were “3-1” jokes passed around at The Match featuring Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
Draymond Green, who was along for the TNT broadcast heard a “3-1” joke on the course. The joke stems from the Golden State Warriors blowing a 3-1 series lead against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.
So after some chirping on the golf course from Mahomes and Kelce, Green fired back.
“Y’all over here talking about 3-1, like Joey Burrow ain’t send your a– home a year ago,” Green said.
Green is a little off on his math, considering the Chiefs lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship during the 2021-22 season. This past year, Kansas City won the Super Bowl over the Philadelphia Eagles.
In any event, it’s all in good fun. What else do you expect on a golf course during a match for money?
Perhaps Green could’ve used Mahomes’ Super Bowl loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady as extra ammo.
Travis Kelce reveals when he knew Patrick Mahomes was special
Mahomes is now already regarded not only as one of the best, but one of the most captivating quarterbacks in league history just six years into his young career. One of his favorite targets throughout his career, Kelce, has witnessed Mahomes’ greatness firsthand and shared with the Pardon My Take podcast when he first personally recognized it for himself.
“Honestly his best plays might have been on that scout team going against the number one defense his rookie year. The s*** he was doing in those practices was mind-blowing, he had no filter. He was just out there like, well if this doesn’t matter I can just throw it over here,” Kelce said making a sound effect of a ball being thrown. “The defense was just demoralized in practice, they’re like what the f***, this kid’s dicing us up right now and all these are scouted looks, we know what’s coming.”
If Mahomes can eventually improve his golf game to that level, maybe he could beat Curry regularly on the links. Curry is a standout golfer despite it being his second sport to basketball.
Nonetheless, it’s always a good time to see guys of this caliber chum it up during a friendly game. Even if it’s trash talk that has been used quite a bit.
