UPDATE: It appears that the Dallas Mavericks Twitter account has removed the video referenced below.

The reigning NFL MVP and Texas native Patrick Mahomes dropped by his hometown team this week to catch some passes from the Mavericks icon Dirk Nowitzki.

Patrick Mahomes went a respectable 3-7 from deep, but he shouldn't quit his day job. I'm also assuming he'll be getting a call from Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach any minute now, banning him from three-pointers.

It's a cool moment to see two great performers in their respective sports, at different stages of their career, interact. But how much cooler of a moment is this for Patrick Mahomes, who grew up watching Dirk have his hall of fame career, then get to shoot buckets with him.?

It pays to be the MVP, I guess.
