Tom Brady Reveals How 2x NBA Champion Helped Reunite Him With Rob Gronkowski

Imagine if Tom Brady wouldn’t have reunited with his long-time football buddy Rob Gronkowski for the 2020 season in Tampa Bay. Would the Buccaneers still have won the Super Bowl title? Considering his vital role in the Bucs squad, they wouldn’t have. Hence the reunion was dubbed a major success.

However, it is little known what let the two cross paths once again, just a year after Gronk announced retirement from pro football. The two for their partnership with different teams led them to become the most successful QB-TE duo in NFL history. In the final episode of Tom Brady’s Man in the Arena the veteran QB revealed how the two-time NBA Champion Kevin Durant helped facilitate their reunion.

Some may even remember Brady trying to woo Durant to the Boston Celtics in 2016. Maybe it was his chance to help out the GOAT.

How Kevin Durant helped Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski reunite?

Brady recalled the time when he contacted Kevin Durant when he was in New York for a place to work out. Durant set it up. The veteran QB further mentioned that he was aware of the fact that Rob Gronkowski was also in the city. He asked his then retired teammate for a workout session.

The two ended up having a great workout which catalyzed their hopes for another Super Bowl campaign together.

“He looked like Gronk… and I think both of our juices got flowing a little bit,” Brady said. “We realized that we have a chemistry that you can’t replicate.”

Gronk was reluctant to rejoin New England Patriots

The then six-time Super Bowl champion was still on the lookout for a team that would complement his abilities. Gronk who wasn’t in touch with the QB at that time revealed that he wanted to play with Brady again as long as they don’t run it back with the New England Patriots.

It was little known that they would end up playing in Tampa Bay. The 2020 season remains one of the most remembered seasons when Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski recorded another Super Bowl, this time without Bill Belichick. However, the question lies will he play with him again in the 2022 season?
