For Patrick Mahomes, Super Bowl LV was a nightmare. The quarterback was chased down more than 500 yards by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense as his O-Line crumpled on multiple occasions throughout the game. And with Mahomes’ influence being limited through the game, Tom Brady picked up his seventh ring. This sparked the debate- Who is the better quarterback? Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady?

(Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images) While Mahomes still has plenty of years ahead of him, Tom Brady [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tom-brady/] is in his twilight years. There are still six rings between Brady and Mahomes but that hasn’t stopped anyone from speculating about the rivalry between the two quarterbacks. PATRICK MAHOMES AIMING TO SIMULATE TOM BRADY Appearing on First Take [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiWLfSweyRNmLpgEHekhoAg], Patrick Mahomes was asked whether his rivalry with Tom Brady can one day be compared to that of the GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/]. But Mahomes feels it’s too early to make any comparisons to those two NBA legends. READ MORE – Which NFL Team Did Roman Reigns Play For? [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-wwe-news-which-nfl-team-did-roman-reigns-play-for/] “It’s still early for the LeBron and Michael Jordan stuff. But for me, if you’re in this league, you’re trying to win. You’re trying to be the best player on that football field every single day. And Tom’s done it for a long time. He’s won a lot of Super Bowls,” said Mahomes. Growing up watching Tom Brady play football-inspired Patrick Mahomes [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/patrick-mahomes/] to be the dominant QB he is today. Praising Brady for his success, the Kansas City Chiefs QB said his goal remains to put his franchise to compete for trophies as Tom Brady has done over the years. “When you’re coming up and you’re watching football, you want to go out there and win championships like he’s done. And so I’m gonna try to do whatever I can to every single year, put us in the position to win a lot of championships,” he added.

Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports The Kansas City Chiefs had the chance to win back-to-back Super Bowls. But in the end, Tom Brady and his Buccaneers put that idea to bed. With the Bucs now trying to win back-to-back Super Bowl themselves, might Patrick Mahomes have his shot at redemption in 2021? 

Patrick Mahomes can be the man to break Tom Brady's records, but that
conversation is yet to hit the MJ -LeBron James level

The Chicago Bulls basketball team is owned by Jerry Reinsdorf and plays in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. They were founded in 1966 and their base is at the United Center. The Chicago Bulls share this stadium with the NHL side, Chicago Blackhawks. 
<img class="size-full wp-image-386125 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200922123940/thumb-1920-596152.png" alt="" width="1365" height="1024" />
The franchise attained superstardom in the 90s, where they won six NBA titles. There were two three-peats when <a href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-jordan/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michael Jordan</a> was part of the team in this decade. 
The Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons had a memorable rivalry in the late 80s and early 90s. The teams faced each other in three consecutive conference finals between 1989-1991. On each occasion, the winner of this clash claimed the <a href="https://www.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> title. 
In 1992, the Chicago Bulls set a franchise record of 67 wins. Three years later, in Michael Jordan's first full season after the short-lived baseball career, the Chicago Bulls became the first team to record 70 regular-season wins. That year, they also became the first team to have 3 players on the NBA All-Defensive First Team.

LeBron James

Who is LeBron James? LeBron James is widely considered to be one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. Born in Akron, James spent the majority of his professional career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers, winning multiple NBA championships and earning numerous accolades along the way. Dec 7, 2023; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) reacts during the second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA In Season Tournament Semifinal at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports &nbsp; Known for his exceptional all-around game, James is a four-time MVP and has been selected to the All-Star team a record 18 times. LeBron James&#8217; early life LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. James started playing basketball at a young age, showing great potential. He soon became one of the best high school basketball players in the country. James graduated from St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary High School and declared for the NBA draft in 2003. James led St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary to three state championships in four years. With Keith Dambrot and Dru Joyce II coaching the side for two years each, the Fighting Irish had a record of 101 victories and 6 losses during James&#8217; time. LeBron James&#8217; wife and children LeBron James was raised by his mother Gloria James, who struggled to make ends meet as a single mother. Not much is known about James&#8217; biological father Anthony McClelland, who was largely absent from LeBron&#8217;s life during his childhood. He is also reported to have criminal records to his name. James has been in a relationship with his high school sweetheart Savannah since his teenage years. The couple tied the knot on September 14, 2013. Savannah James has indulged in several business ventures over the years and is also a noted philanthropist. She has also established a mentorship program for young women. LeBron and Savannah have three children together: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri James. Both Bronny and Bryce are following in their father&#8217;s footsteps to become basketball stars. In December 2023, Bronny made his long-awaited collegiate debut with the USC Trojans, less than five months after suffering cardiac arrest in July. LeBron James&#8217; net worth 2024 LeBron James has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, according to recent reports. James is the first active NBA star to achieve this feat. The four-time NBA champion signed a two-year $97.1 million contract extension with theÂ Los Angeles Lakers last year. As per reports, James has earned around $387 million in salaries in his 20-year NBA career so far. Furthermore, he has also made a fortune with his endorsement deals and investments, which have helped him build his massive business empire. LeBron James&#8217; NBA career timeline TheÂ Cleveland Cavaliers selected hometown boy LeBron James as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. James was a superstar straight out of high school and took the league by storm. He played for the Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 in his first stint and won MVP awards in 2009 and 2010. Even though the Akron Hammer was almost unstoppable on the court and won many individual accolades, team success was hard to come by.

Game 5: Indiana at Cleveland &#8211; ZUMAm67_ 20180425_zaf_m67_043 Copyright: xLeahxKlafczynskix James then left the Cavs and took his talents to theÂ Miami Heat in 2010. He received major backlash from Cavs fans after this move. However, he continued his dominance, alongside superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Heat, and clinched his first NBA title in 2012, followed by another in 2013. He also won the NBA MVP award and the Finals MVP award in 2012 and 2013. The estranged son then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and took the team to four straight NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. He helped the Cavs win their first-ever NBA title in 2016. James once again left the Cavs, this time to join the Los Angeles Lakers, in 2018 and led them to the 2020 NBA title.Â  Following the retirements of Udonis Haslem and Andre Iguodala, LeBron James is currently the oldest player in the league. On the 21st of November 2023, James became the first player in league history to reach 39,000 career points. Six days later, he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar&#8217;s record of 66,300 minutes to become the player with the most minutes played in NBA games during the regular season and playoffs.

LeBron James&#8217; rings Over his illustrious 20-year career (and counting), James has won four NBA championships. He has led three different franchises &#8211; the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Lakers &#8211; to NBA titles. James&#8217; first title came in 2012 with the Heat, when he won his first Finals MVP award, followed by a second consecutive title in 2013. After returning to Cleveland in 2014, James delivered on his promise to bring the city its first major sports championship in over 50 years. In 2016, James powered the Cavaliers back from a daunting 3-1 deficit against the record-setting Golden State Warriors in the Finals. James won his 4th championship and NBA Finals MVP award in 2020, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship against his former side, the Miami Heat. LeBron James&#8217; shoe deals LeBron James signed a huge deal with Nike even before he entered the NBA. As James&#8217; superstardom rose, he became one of the most important faces of the brand, with his line of signature shoes, which is in its 20th version now. The four-time NBA MVP signed a lifetime deal with Nike in 2015 for an undisclosed fee. LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason. Former teammate Dwyane Wade once revealed that James is one of the cheapest players in the league despite being one of the richest. However, James knows how to spend his fortune in style. And when it comes to where he lives, the King does not compromise. According to reports, LeBron owns multiple properties in California, Ohio, and Miami, that are worth a combined estimated value of $100 million. LeBron James&#8217; car collection LeBron James is known for having an extensive collection of cars, estimated to be worth over $2 million. Some of the standouts include a Chevy Camaro SS, a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Dodge Challenger SRT 392. He also owns a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a 720-horsepower V12 supercar. Another notable element of his collection is a Mercedes luxury sedan, the Maybach S650, worth around $200,000. Notably, after teaming up with Shaquille O&#8217;Neal in Cleveland, Shaq gifted LeBron a Rolls Royce Phantom for his 25th birthday. The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.

Tom Brady

Who is Tom Brady? Tom Brady is regarded as one of the NFL&#8217;s greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has won the most Super Bowls in NFL history and is considered one of the biggest steals in NFL Draft history. The New England Patriots drafted the Michigan prospect at 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft. He stayed with the New England Patriots for 20 seasons, winning several divisional titles, nine AFC Championships, and seven Super Bowls. However, he left the Patriots and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 NFL season.

(Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images) After leading the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl LV trophy in 2021, Brady signed a 2-year extension with Tampa Bay. He retired after the 2021-2022 NFL campaign, following his Divisional Round loss against the Los Angeles Rams. However, he decided to return to the league after just 40 days. Alas, last year in 2023, Tom Brady said goodbye to his professional football career through a short but heart-warming clip. Now, he enjoys his time with his family and focuses on off-gridiron ventures. Tom Bradyâ€™s early life and family Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born in the state of California, in the city of San Mateo. He is the fourth child of Galynn Patricia and Thomas Brady Sr, before which they had three daughters. He was raised as a Catholic and belonged to a family of mixed ethnicities. While Brady is Irish from his father&#8217;s side, his mother belongs to a diverse ancestry of Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Poland. His father often jokingly calls himself the &#8216;Original Tom Brady&#8217;. Laying the foundation of an insurance company, the father of four transferred his work ethic and his zest to continue on the path of victory to his son. Brady Jr&#8217;s mother Galynn has always been known as the pillar of strength in his more than 2 decade-long career. She suffered through extremely tough times during her diagnosis of breast cancer but was quick to recover in 2017. His parents still live together in his childhood home back in California. As a child, Brady was raised in an extremely competitive environment with three sisters- Maureen, Julie, and Nancy. Maureen is the oldest of them all and remained inclined toward the sports world as well. She earned a name for herself by being the All-Star American softball pitcher at Fresno State. While she shifted her career path to nursing soon after, her sisters surely followed her into the game of softball. Nancy moved on from the sport to become a Public Health Technical Advisor. Julie, the sister who shares the closest bond with Tom Brady, married former Boston Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis. Currently, all three of them are busy raising their kids and living with their families, rarely gaining an opportunity to have a get-together.

He was known to be passionate about various sports from his school days, including Basketball, Baseball, and his future goal- Football. Tom Brady ended up securing 3702 yards and 31 touchdowns in his high school career. He went to the University of Michigan after completing his initial schooling, where he got a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. There he gave up the opportunity to pursue professional baseball and focused on his football journey. Brady always credits Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers to be the massive reason behind his passion for the sport. That is what led him to continue with football despite not getting a chance to play in his University team for almost 2 years. Yet, after joining the side, the Quarterback secured 4773 passing yards and 30 TD passes in his college career. He led the Michigan Wolverines to become a strong side, remaining a squad member that grabbed the victory in the 1997 National Championship. While Brady was a known name in the college football world, he still entered the NFL only as the 199th pick of the draft. He was picked in the sixth round in 2000 by the New England Patriots. Astonishingly, he did not have a lot of hype surrounding him in his initial entry into the National Football League. Brady was the seventh QB to get selected that year. Yet, his long-time team Patriots recognized some passion and determination in him to make Brady a part of their squad despite hosting enough talent for the season. Tom Brady&#8217;s personal life Tom Brady&#8217;s dating life has been under the limelight since he rose to fame in the NFL arena. More often than not, it is his ex-wife Gisele BÃ¼ndchen who is associated with the football legend. There have been a couple of actresses Tom Brady had dated before her. One of the prominent names is the &#8216;Sex and the City&#8217; star, Bridget Moynahan. They dated for more than a couple of years, and during this period, the actress was spotted with Brady on many occasions. These included the victory party after the New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party, and the 2006 Met Gala. Alas! The couple split in December 2006, and Brady started dating BÃ¼ndchen. However, the following year, Moynahan announced that she was three months pregnant with Tom Brady&#8217;s child. Their son, John &#8220;Jack&#8221; Edward Thomas Moynahan, was born on August 22, 2007. Since then, Brady and Moynahan have been co-parenting Jack. The eldest son of Brady shares many traits with the superstar former quarterback. He enjoys playing many sports, including football and basketball. Gisele BÃ¼ndchen has also been a vital part of his upbringing. Eventually, Tom Brady married Gisele BÃ¼ndchen in 2009. They got married twice &#8211; the first ceremony was carried out at St. Monica Catholic Church in California and the second ceremony was at BÃ¼ndchen&#8217;s Costa Rica home.

(Photo by Michael Stewart/Getty Images) In June 2009, the supermodel announced that they were expecting their first child together, Benjamin Brady. Unlike his older brother, Benjamin isn&#8217;t much fond of sports. However, now and then he indulges in the game of football. In 2012, they were blessed with a daughter, Vivian Lake Brady. She is a fan of many sports, prominently, tennis and horse riding. Despite the love and support they showcased each other, the couple separated ways in October 2022. This was after Tom Brady returned to the NFL arena following his retirement earlier that year. The couple announced that their children are their utmost priority, and they will work together as parents to ensure that they receive love and attention. After Brady and BÃ¼ndchen&#8217;s divorce, there were speculations about who the NFL legend might be dating next. Rumors aired of Tom Brady being involved with Russian model Irina Shayk. Per Page Six, the pair returned to Brady&#8217;s Los Angeles home after he picked Shayk up at Hotel Bel-Air last year. Similar speculations surrounded the duo from time to time. But nothing was confirmed from either of the parties. Just more than a week back, Us reported how the two have met several times a week and a source revealed that both Brady and Shayk are trying to maintain a relationship out of the public eye.

Tom Brady&#8217;s NFL journey &#8211; coaches and teams In his over two-decade-long career, Tom Brady played for only two teams- the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While he spent 20 years with the New England Patriots, he ended his career in 2022 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During his time with the Patriots, the Quarterback revealed feeling lucky to have played under the &#8220;greatest coach in the NFL.&#8221; He was referring to the most experienced presence in the league and a person who is a constant name besides Brady- Bill Belichick. The coach and QB share a strong bond, which brought their side 17 Divisional titles besides the Super Bowl success. The Head Coach of the New England side played the most crucial role in his career. Head coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and Tom Brady during a match at NRG Stadium. Image credit: Getty Another coach who was closely connected with Tom Brady was Josh McDaniels. He worked as the Patriots&#8217; Quarterback&#8217;s coach and Offensive Coordinator from 2004-08 and 2012-19. Brady often refers to McDaniels as his &#8220;Brother for life,&#8221; reflecting on the massive role the offense expert played in his journey. At last, it was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Brady&#8217;s era who played a crucial role in his comeback. It was none other than Bruce Arians with whom the QB won his last Super Bowl, adding a star to the coaching legacy of Arians. The time with the New England Patriots saw Tom Brady at his peak. He became the most successful QB in the NFL under this side, also securing most Super Bowl victories for any side under a single Quarterback and Coach duo. How many Super Bowl wins does Tom Brady have? The NFL legend Tom Brady went on to win 6 Super Bowl titles (XXXVI, XXXVII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LII) with Bill Belichick as his coach under the Patriots. His time in Buccaneers&#8217; camp, though short, witnessed Tom Brady registering another Super Bowl title (LV) to his name under coach Arians. From his 7 SBs, he won the first Lombardi trophy against the Los Angeles Rams in 2002 with a score of 20-17. In 2004 and 2005, he grabbed back-to-back trophies against the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles respectively. His fourth title came after a long gap of ten years in 2015 against the Seattle Seahawks, after which he soon grabbed the fifth title in 2017 against the Atlanta Falcons. The final trophy with the Patriots for Brady came against the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 season. Later, he bid adieu to the NFL world with his last trophy in 2021 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tom Brady&#8217;s retirement from the NFL and life after retirement The NFL G.O.A.T. retired on February 1, 2023, again. In 2022, he first announced his retirement but only to return 40 days later. However, last year, Tom Brady, through a social media post, announced, &#8220;Good morning, guys. I&#8217;ll get to the point right away. I&#8217;m retiring. For good.&#8221; Elaborating on the same, he thanked his family, friends, and fans and mentioned how he already made a &#8220;super emotional retirement essay.&#8221; Thus, this time, it won&#8217;t be long-winded.
