The general tone of reaction showed rousing support for Patrick Mahomes. While some players also grieved the Eagles' loss, they had to give Mahomes his flowers.

Celebrities in attendance for Super Bowl LVII
Super Bowl LVII saw a lot of traction from audiences across the world. However, as one of the biggest sporting events in the US, it was bound to see some celebrities in attendance as well.
In this regard, the State Farm Stadium in Arizona was graced by some familiar faces. American rapper and producer Jay-Z was spotted in Arizona in attendance for the Super Bowl LVII. Hollywood actor Paul Rudd and recording artist Adele were also among the crowd.
WNBA superstar Brittney Griner also attended the event. Griner, who has become a rather prominent figure following her detention in Russia, was seen at the game with her wife.
Prominent NBA figures were also seen at the event. NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal was also among those in attendance. He shared a hilarious video of himself at the event, which was promptly invaded by actor and comedian Kevin Hart.
LA Lakers superstar LeBron James was also seen at the event alongside his wife Savannah James. James, who claims not to be a fan of either team, received a warm welcome in Arizona when he was shown on the Jumbotron.
Given James' relationship with Arizona's NBA franchise, the Phoenix Suns, the crowd reaction is quite valid.
As the Super Bowl comes to a close, the NBA will ramp up their activities. With the All-Star weekend on the horizon, crowds can shift their focus to the NBA once again.
