If Patrick Mahomes wasn't a Luka Doncic fan before tonight, safe to say he's been converted. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback was seen dapping up the Dallas Mavericks superstar after his epic Game 2 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Luka Doncic was a man possessed for the Mavs in his second contest against the Clippers, impressing Mahomes with his epic line of 39 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.

Check out the iconic moment between the two rising stars among sports:

The Mavs star was also hyper-efficient from the field, connecting on 16 of his 29 field goal attempts which is good for a 55.2% shooting clip. His only true flaw was his ugly showing from the charity stripe, as he made just two of seven takes at the line.

Many see Luka Doncic as the future of the NBA the same way Patrick Mahomes has been the guy for the NFL. Mahomes has already achieved so much in his four-year stint with the Chiefs. He has his Super Bowl ring while also raising his individual banner with an MVP trophy in his cabinet.

Luka Doncic isn't quite there yet, but obviously the sky's the limit for the Mavs phenom just as it is for Mahomes. While it never looks like it on the court, Doncic is still just 22 years old. For all we know, Doncic could pull off a miraculous NBA Finals run as early as this season. The fact that it's actually believable is a testament to how high Doncic's ceiling is.Ā
