Tom Brady Calls Lakers' LeBron James 'Greatest Ever' in Video with Wemby, Kai Cenat


LeBron James received high praise from NFL legend Tom Brady at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Saturday.

"He's always done things the right way, he's always risen above all the noise and the BS and continued to deliver," Brady said during a live episode of The Shop. "You're witnessing the greatest ever, and I hope you all appreciate that."

James and Brady were also joined by Victor Wembanyama and Kai Cenat in their conversation.

While Brady's playing days are over, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar previously referred to the seven-time Super Bowl champion as the greatest of all time on multiple occasions during his tenure with the New England Patriots.

Brady, the NFL's all-time leading passer, can uniquely understand what James, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, has accomplished to remain a star for so long.

The quarterback played until he was 45 years old without experiencing a steep decline in his performance, as he became the oldest player in NFL history to throw for 5,000 yards in a single season during his 2021 campaign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As for James, he averaged 24.4 points per game for the Lakers during his 22nd season in the league. No other player in NBA history has averaged over 7.4 points per game in a year beyond their 20th season.

With Brady already retired and James revealing that he's thought about retirement, there's still mutual respect between the two stars.

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 . Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony.
