Fast-forward to today and Brady has officially called it quits on his NFL career after 22 seasons. The 7x champ took to Instagram to thank his family and the everybody at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organizations for the past 2 years.
Fans were quick to point out that he didn’t mention the team who he spent 20 years with, the New England Patriots. Regardless, the North American sports world is currently at a standstill as the greatest quarterback of all time is walking away from the game of football.

LeBron James and Tom Brady could be considered friends as it would be even more apt to consider them as admirers of each other’s craft. Brady couldn’t fathom pitting Michael Jordan against James in the ‘GOAT’ debate and James stepped up and called out analysts who said 12 was done with as he was in his 40s.
Both share a similar aspect in their ability to stretch their primes well into stages of their career that most didn’t think was possible.
Following the official announcement that Tom Brady had retired, LeBron James wrote on Instagram, “Hell of a ride my friend!! Congrats on a heck of a career!! Thank you for the memories and inspiration throughout *goat emoji*. TB12 loved by ‘The King’.”
