When it comes to being the best in business, only a few can make it to the top. One among them is surely Tom Brady. The heartthrob of the NFL surely has the people regard him as the Greatest of All Time, much like Mohammad Ali of Boxing or Tiger Woods of Golf. So much so, that the online community has recently bestowed the former Buccaneer quarter-back with GOAT status. However, it wasn’t just Brady whom the fans hailed with the same status, but Lewis Hamilton, Lionel Messi, and Roger Federer as well. And people living in today’s time have to hold themselves lucky to have witnessed them all.
In a recent poll by Sport Bible on their official Twitter handle, the fans were asked to put forward their favorite sportsperson on different sports. While there were multiple names to go with, most of them had the four names of Tom Brady, Lionel Messi, Lewis Hamilton, and Roger Federer when it comes to NFL, Soccer, F1, and Tennis, respectively.
