Patrick Mahomes, Dirk Nowitzki among celebrities at Mavs-Wolves Game 3

A star-studded crowd turned out for Game 3 Sunday night between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference finals, which the Mavs led two games to none.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tweeted in support of the Mavs after their Game 2 victory Friday night. “See yall in Dallas!!” he wrote. The Tyler native stuck by his promise, appearing courtside with his wife Brittany Mahomes.

When the jumbotron spotlighted the couple, the crowd erupted into cheers. It was a warmer reception than the one moments before for Mahomes’ pal and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who was greeted with some boos when he was shown on the screen. Kelce, known to many as Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, was also at Game 2 of the NHL Western Conference finals between the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers Saturday night.

Other celebrities spotted courtside included singer Ne-Yo, Mavs legend Dirk Nowitzki and Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, according to Dallas Morning News Mavs reporter Mike Curtis.

Also in attendance were Alex Rodriguez, a 14-time MLB All-Star and now part owner of the Wolves, and NBA superfan Jimmy Goldstein, who has seen more than 5,000 NBA games in person.

Before the match, Nowitzki smiled and chatted with Mavs star Luka Doncic. Queen Latifah was also seen shaking hands and speaking to Miriam Adelson, majority owner of the Mavs.
