Is Tom Brady the greatest athlete of all-time?
Tom Brady is just coming off of his seventh super bowl ring in his long lasting career.
Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday 31–9 in Super Bowl LV.
Brady has been widely regarded as the G.O.A.T. or greatest of all time in football surpassing legends like Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, and most of the other great quarterbacks in the history of the game.
His resume includes 34 playoff wins with 10 Super Bowl appearances and winning 7 titles and 5 MVPs in those appearances.
After tonight's big win, many have taken to Twitter and other social media platforms to pose the question is Tom Brady the greatest athlete ever in any sport?
Brady is definitely a proven winner however, Michael Jordan was the greatest on and off the field.
Tom Brady is definitely the winningest player to ever lace up any shoe or cleat as he has had a remarkable 20 year career. Considering he was chosen in the seventh round of the 2000 draft, he was very overlooked in his scouting report and ultimately, ended up with the last laugh.
When you look at what Michael Jordan did in his career, he is one of the names that has been thrown in the hat as one of the greatest athletes to ever play a sport.
Jordan is also a proven winner in his own right compiling 6 championships and an MVP in all of the finals he was in.
The phrase, “I want to be like Mike”, is synonymous with Jordan as most of the people who watched him play wanted to be successful and strive to be the best. His impact on pop culture was something that has never been seen before in an athlete.
With Brady, people wanted to succeed and strive to be as great as him as well but, Jordan was the best basketball player as well as a pop culture icon.
Jordan had the endorsements and popularity that seemed to be unmatched in any era while also being the best in his respected sport.
Brady was always a winner but, he never reached that level of off-field popularity that Jordan had.
Jordan starred in multiple commercials and the Space Jam movie along with having his own sneaker brand.
It is definitely safe to say that Brady is the best player in his sport but, he has never been as big as Jordan was.
