Tom Brady and his name still echo in the world of the NFL. The 7X Super Bowl champion’s legacy in the league is something that cannot be easily rivaled. His glittering 23-season career has earned him the title of the NFL GOAT amongst fans and sets the standards high for future QBs in the league. While Brady has been a prolific QB in the NFL, he also shares an interest in other sports, as he’s using his post-retirement life to branch out investments into the world of other sports. 

Even the NFL GOAT is a fan of soccer, or football, as people from other countries know it. He’s been pictured with soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo while he was playing in Manchester United in the English Premier League. And while Brady has friendships with various high-profile athletes, he’s never met the Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi, who is seen at the top of the pinnacle with Ronaldo. And this reminded Snoop Dogg of a very interesting Michael Jordan fact that connects him with the NBA legend.

Brady’s name in the world of sports needs no introduction. Just like other great athletes in the world of sports, Brady is also well-known among his peers and stars from different fields. But being at the top does not mean you get to meet every star from different fields in life.

In a recent YouTube Shorts posted by Sirius XM, the NFL GOAT opens up about how he never met Lionel Messi in his life. He talked about how he knows him and has been watching Messi during the pinnacle of his soccer career. But he is still yet to have an interaction with the Argentinian legend in real life. Brady further went on to talk about how Lionel Messi is a “pretty mellow guy” who “keeps things pretty private.” This led to Snoop Dogg revealing that even he did not meet NBA Michael Jordan in his life, which left Brady in a visible state of shock. The rapper has been on the sidelines of various NBA games, and being a Lakers fan, Snoop said, “I’m a Lakers fan I’m not gonna be trying to go fraternize with him.”
