Mahomes earned congratulations from athletes across the sports world. His contract was so impressive, even LeBron James was asking him to spot him a fiver over Instagram.

Other athletes quickly joined in on the fun, with Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young promising to put his tab on Mahomes' bill the next time they were out together.
