Tom Brady appears at American Dream for the grand opening of Card Vault by Tom Brady, a sports card and memorabilia retailer, East Rutherford, Friday, Apr. 11, 2025.

Tom Brady recently appeared at the Fanatics Fest in New York, alongside LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama. There, Brady called LeBron the greatest ever.

“With the intensity that’s been on him, the Olympics, the different teams that he’s been on, he’s always done things the right way,” Brady said. “He’s always risen above all the noise and B.S. and continued to deliver.”

Brady isn’t wrong for calling LeBron the GOAT. As the leading scorer in NBA history and a four-time champion, he’s earned the right to be named the top guy in basketball.

The only problem with Brady’s latest admission is the fact that he’s been on record calling Michael Jordan the GOAT of basketball. This includes recently, when he named his all-time sports GOAT list.

“Michael Jordan,” Brady said. “He was my childhood idol, he was unbelievable.”

When Brady named his GOAT list, he named Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Shohei Ohtani, Barry Bonds, Michael Phelps, Michael Johnson, A’ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, and Angel Reese.

Brady shockingly left LeBron off the list. Was this Brady’s way of making up with LeBron?
