LeBron’s Lakers receive comparison to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs: Don’t bet against them

The Los Angeles Lakers are heating up again — and, arguably, at the perfect time of the season.

The Lakers are on a five-game winning streak that has silenced doubts around their viability as a playoff team. As Los Angeles steadily climbs back up the standings, the chances of a playoff run will increase — and one of the Lakers’ superstar fans still thinks LeBron James can lead them to an unlikely championship this season.During an appearance on FOX Sports’ “Undisputed” on Friday, rapper Lil Wayne told hosts Paul Pierce and Skip Bayless that an air of inevitability still exists around LeBron and the Lakers — and if they escape the Play-In Tournament, they will once again be a tough out in the Western Conference playoffs.

Lil Wayne — a five-time Grammy winner legally known as Dwayne Michael Carter — compared the LeBron’s Lakers to two of the most inevitable athletes in North American sports: Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady. The latter, a six-time Super Bowl champion, always seemed to thrive when the chips were down and relished leading the New England Patriots (and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) to unlikely success, whereas Mahomes has won three Super Bowls for the Kansas City Chiefs before his 30th birthday.
