Tom Brady knows what it’s like to be the greatest of all time.
Most NFL fans acknowledge the former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback as the football GOAT.
On Saturday, Brady had a chance to weigh in on a more heated GOAT debate: the NBA’s Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James.
Brady sided with The King.
“He’s always risen above all the noise and the BS and continued to deliver,” Brady said of James during a Fanatics event. “You’re witnessing the greatest ever and I hope you all appreciate that.”

Brady, who displayed incredible longevity, must appreciate that out of James.
In many ways, the two are very different.
Brady was a sixth-round pick who had to prove everyone wrong for a long time.
James was the most hyped high school basketball player, maybe, ever.
But in the end, they both went on to change their sports. Brady won seven Super Bowl rings. LeBron has four NBA titles.
Brady will likely get some hate for not going with MJ, but he probably won’t mind.
One GOAT knows how to pick another GOAT when he sees him, and Tom Brady thinks the correct answer is LeBron James.
