Watch: When Two GOATs Michael Jordan and Tom Brady Played Impromptu Pickup Game in Bahamas

Back in 2015, Tom Brady was seen playing basketball in the Bahamas with none other than Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. The pair is known to be on friendly terms, and have been seen greeting each other at events multiple times. Brady recently announced his second and final retirement from the NFL. Back in 2015, he was on vacation in the Bahamas with his wife Gisele Bundchen.

The now 45-year-old ran into none other than Michael Jordan, and the two found some time to play basketball. Brady even got a layup on target and appeared to be good at the sport.

Tom Brady announced his second retirement from NFL after coming back from retirement the first time around. The 45-year-old retired after a total of 23 seasons in the NFL, and is known to be an avid basketball fan.

Brady, widely regarded as the greatest NFL player of all time, was taking a well-deserved break after helping the Patriots to victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. Michael Jordan on the other hand, is widely regarded as the greatest basketball player of all time.

The series of pictures gave fans a rare glimpse into the coming together of two of the greatest athletes of all time. Both the players showed a high level of dominance in their prime, although Brady is also an example of modern longevity of fitness.

Regardless, the two players looked to have a great time together. The game of basketball did not seem to be planned and came as a result of sheer coincidence. The video was also shared on YouTube by The Fumble.

Tom Brady to make yet another return to the NFL

Brady might have retired as a player, but there is little doubt about his love for the game. The 45-year-old is said to be in advanced talks to become a limited partner of the Las Vegas Raiders, according to ESPN.

While Brady’s investment is said to be passive, the 45-year-old had said just months ago that he was retiring to spend more time with his family. Still, this will not be the first sports franchise that he will have a stake in.

Back in March, it was announced that Brady had purchased a minority stake in the WNBA team Las Vegas Aces. Hence, while Brady might have retired from playing in the NFL, there is plenty of scope for him to be involved in the coming time.
