There’s no denying that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes emerged as one of the most electrifying players in the NFL this year. The league’s newly crowned Most Valuable Player certainly has a lot to celebrate in just his sophomore year at Arrowhead Stadium.

Still, the 23-year-old traded his football cleats for some basketball kicks on Monday night. To the delight of bystanders, Mahomes participated in pick-up basketball game at Life Time Fitness in Overland Park, Kansas. Fans and critics alike are well aware of his sensational no-look pass moves, but who knew the Texas Tech alum had some Kyrie Irving-esque handles?

While The Kid’s spin moves were obviously impressive, it had to be a little stressful for Chiefs fans, who would rather risk their own joints than to see their franchise play caller potentially injure himself in a pick-up game during the offseason.

No word yet on if No. 15 also moonlights as a tennis pro or highly skilled NASCAR driver in his spare time.
