THE N-B-A IN KANSAS CITY? CHIEFS QB PATRICK MAHOMES THINKS IT WOULD WORK AND LET’S FACE IT, HE’S PROBABLY GOT THE DOLLARS TO GET IT DONE….

Bill Pollock OF THE MISSOURI NET HAS THIS….:

 

(SCRIPT): Patrick Mahomes has brought another Super Bowl title and a Whataburger to Kansas City. Now Mahomes has his eyes set on bringing the NBA to KC. With travel restrictions between the U.S. and Canada during the pandemic, the Toronto Raptors are looking for an arena in the states to play their home games. There’s a report that Louisville’s KFC Yum Center is considered a possibility. Mahomes tweeted “Bring them to KC!” Mayor Quinton Lucas was paying attention. He replied to Mahomes tweeting “Working on it!” The NBA’s Kings moved from Kansas City to Sacramento in 1985.

THE CHIEFS GET A HOME GAME AT ARROWHEAD AT 12 NOON ON SUNDAY AGAINST THE NEW YORK JETS….IT’S ON 102.3 FM….
