Tom Brady has achieved a definite status in his 23-year career. With multiple MVP accolades and seven Super Bowl triumphs, the QB is still running strong. The quarterback has achieved the hard-earned GOAT status and joined an elite association of athletes. However, NBA star LeBron James called out Brady’s legendary position under scrutiny.

The debate over the Bucs quarterback erupted when LeBron James’ business partner Maverick Carter noticed a fact. He believed that the only thing that distinguished greatness was persistence over a long time. What Tom Brady has accomplished in his life is the sweetest thing Carter has ever witnessed in sports. However, despite his enthusiasm for TB12, James pointed out that he could only play on one side of the ball.

LeBron James mentioned, “My only argument with a football player being the greatest athlete of all time is that they only gotta play one side of the floor, man. Yes, Brady is unbelievable. Brady is the greatest quarterback I’ve ever seen, but he affects the game one way. Just as a basketball player, and the pounding that you take and running both sides…”

“Oh s**t, I gotta get back on offense. Oh, s**t, I gotta get back on defense.’ As physical as football is — and to the body, I know it’s crazy to the body — but for a quarterback, [Bill] Belichick has done a great job of implementing those five guys in front to protect that asset,” He added.

LeBron James added that Basketball players must understand all sides. They never talked to the defensive when he played football. Nonetheless, he considers Brady to be the greatest of all time.
