Tom Brady and LeBron James are two of the greatest athletes in the world. While Tom Brady is the best ever in the NFL or LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan is up for the public debate, one thing that can’t be denied is that these two stars are one of the best in the game.
Tom Brady is 44 years old and has been around since 2000, 3 years before LeBron’s NBA debut. However, the two of them have been playing professionally in the same timeline. While Brady and LeBron have a lot of respect for each other as athletes, it’s not the same with their fans.

brady has the second best supporting cast in the NFL. bron gets more criticized than any athlete in the modern age. brady had a QBR of 72 this game..SEVENTY TWO. and was at one point down 27-3..don’t compare their situations. Brady’s always had the easy way. Rodgers is better.

Are we talking about the dude that called himself the GOAT? Demanding respect? The same dude that quit to the team after game 1 and then didn’t care ?
Anyways Brady is not 33, he 44! Down 27-3 and his teammates played bad and that didn’t stopped from playing and didn’t gave up!

Bro what. LeBron is hated everywhere he goes. The truth is that we live in a time of what have you done for me lately. Brady won the superbowl last season and Bron won his two seasons ago and people force-forget both of their accomplishments. It's just sad. Always compare.

In their respective sport which team was better 2022 Bucks or 2018 Cavs?? This take is laughable, not only that but comparing the Rams to the KD Warriors is also funny.
+ Respectable people (not twitter trolls) are not gonna give Tom Brady shit for losing to the Rams by 3 at 44 https://t.co/cGl9PeQ2UH

One thing where everyone can agree on is that both are generational talents. Brady has been in the NFL for more than 2 decades and continues to have a strong impact on his team. LeBron James is also in his 19th season as a professional and is single-handedly carrying the Lakers this season.

Both Brady and James have been performing at an exceptional level, despite their age. Both players are closer to their retirement and it’s about time everyone starts enjoying them instead of comparing.
