After Travis Kelce amused NFL fans by comparing himself to NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon during the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 recent match against the Detroit Lions, his teammate Patrick Mahomes has come out to share his opinion on the tight end\u2019s comments. In a recent discussion, the Chiefs quarterback backed Kelce\u2019s now-viral Mic\u2019d Up statement<\/a>, saying the 36-year-old footballer \u201cstill got it.\u201d<\/p>\n

While talking to the media during the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 practice availability on October 15, Patrick Mahomes alluded to Travis Kelce\u2019s recent statements about pulling off a Hakeem Olajuwon-esque maneuver against the Lions, noting that his teammate does possess the moves.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s still got it. He\u2019s got the vet moves,\u201d the three-time Super Bowl champion said, as per NFL journalist Charles Goldman<\/a>. Mahomes even expressed interest in learning \u2018the Hakeem shake\u2019 from Kelce, adding, \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve got some of those, too\u2026 maybe not the shake, I\u2019ll have to learn that one from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the first quarter of the Chiefs\u2019 recent 30-17 victory against the Lions, Kelce received a pass from Mahomes to complete a 15-yard gain. To avoid advancing Lions linebacker Jack Campbell, the TE executed the \u2018Dream Shake,\u2019 a move famously used by former Houston Rockets star Hakeem Olajuwon during his playing days.<\/p>\n

While retreating to the sidelines, Kelce decided to let his teammates know about the basketball move he had pulled by stating, \u201cThey don\u2019t wanna see me in the post. Hit they a** with a \u2018Hakeem The Dream\u2026\u2019 I grew up watching that, so I emulated that. Shout out to The Dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes had a game to remember against the Lions, with the duo combining on multiple occasions to lead the Chiefs to their third victory of the season. While Mahomes pitched in by throwing for 257 yards and notching three touchdowns, along with another score on the ground, Kelce recorded an impressive six receptions for 78 yards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Travis Kelce amused NFL fans by comparing himself to NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon during the Kansas City…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451279,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2063],"tags":[346,7,118,110,2438,2437,6,499,8909,29446,500],"class_list":{"0":"post-451278","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kansas-city-chiefs","8":"tag-chiefs","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-kansas-city","11":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","12":"tag-kansascity","13":"tag-kansascitychiefs","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-patrick-mahomes","16":"tag-pop-culture","17":"tag-pop-culture-news","18":"tag-travis-kelce"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115384442568019200","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
