Tom Brady weighed in on the GOAT debate
Tom Brady won his fifth Super Bowl in a historic comeback against the Atlanta Falcons in 2017. The Patriots came back from down 28-0 to win the Super Bowl in overtime 34-28 in what could be arguably one of the greatest games of all time.
Following the Super Bowl win in 2017, the debate on if he was the greatest football player and athlete of all time heated up. NBA superstar LeBron James shared that he respected Brady’s accomplishments, but said Brady can’t be the greatest athlete ever because he doesn’t play both sides of the ball.
Carter asked Brady how he felt about James’s comments.
“I’m not a big comparison guy like that,” he said. “It’s really about what style you like. Maybe you can say you’re the most accomplished. I would say, ‘Yeah, I’ve won a lot of games, Super Bowls, and so forth.’
“But my style of play might not fit everybody else’s of what they view that position should be. I can really be the best with the body that I was given. There’s certain things that I certainly cannot do. I had the awareness to realize, ‘OK, I can’t do those things.’ You can’t do everyone else’s job.
“I can’t block, tackle, run, catch – I sure as hell can’t run. But I can throw the s— out of the ball. So, let me just do that really well. If I do that, I think the team could certainly use me for that.”
