Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes sat courtside to watch the action between the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
But the American Airlines Center wasn’t exactly kind to Kelce and booed him when he appeared on screen.
Kelce looked stunned; Whether he was feigning shock or not is up to the viewer.
When Mahomes, the suburban Dallas native, was placed on the jumbotron, he was greeted with applause and cheers.
The Chiefs quarterback stood up and turned around to cheer on the crowd with 12 minutes left in the second quarter.

This came less than 24 hours after Kelce was in Dallas to watch the other tenant at the American Airlines Center: the Dallas Stars.
Dallas hosted Edmonton in the NHL Western Conference Finals, and former hockey player Kelce loved every moment.
Mahomes even joked at Kelce’s expense, telling him to “get out of my sand.”
The couple was joined by Patrick’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, and new Chiefs receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.
The foursome enjoyed a fantastic game that went down to the wire in Dallas, when the Mavericks took a 116-107 victory and a 3-0 series lead over Minnesota.
Dallas’ Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving dropped 33 points on the night while shooting at least 50 percent or better from the field.
Meanwhile, Minnesota was led by a 26-point effort from Anthony Edwards on a night in which the Timberwolves struggled behind the arc. His teammate Karl-Anthony Towns struggled: he took eight 3-point attempts and missed all of them.

Dallas finished the game on a 12-3 run, winning a fifth straight playoff game after rookie center Dereck Lively II left with a sprained neck.
Lively was accidentally shot in the back of the head from Towns’ knee.
No team in NBA playoff history has come back from being down 3-0. Game 4 is Tuesday night in Dallas.
PJ Washington started the decisive run with a corner 3-pointer after Doncic passed to Irving, who sent the ball to Washington.
The co-stars took over from there.
Doncic shot at the line for a four-point lead, Irving drove the crowd wild with a falling jumper and Doncic found Daniel Gafford for an alley-oop dunk and a 113-105 lead with 34 seconds left. Gafford blocked Mike Conley’s layup attempt at the other end.
