Patrick Mahomes added yet another honor to an already lengthy list of accolades: Time Magazine named Mahomes one of the world’s most influential people of 2024, putting the Kansas City Chiefs QB on the magazine’s cover. When asked by the publication about his GOAT status compared to other legendary quarterbacks, Mahomes said he’s “nowhere near” earning such a designation. “You have to build a consistency of a career. You see that in any sport. I’ve had a great run. I think I’ve done a great job so far. But it’s hard to take away from what Tom (Brady) did for so long, what Peyton Manning did, or Aaron Rodgers,” Mahomes said. At 28, Mahomes has three Super Bowl titles, three Super Bowl MVP awards, two NFL MVP trophies, and six Pro Bowl nods.

The project was filmed in James’s former high school, giving “viewers a rare glimpse into James’s personal narrative and perspective on his life and career with an intimacy rarely seen from the athlete.” Harden said of the movie: “UNO means number 1, but also means ‘Under No One.’ We feel like we are the biggest, we don’t put ourselves under anyone. We are very respectful, but we carry ourselves with a different swagger and confidence than a lot of people.”
