Tom Brady is universally recognized as one of, if not the greatest football players to ever strap on a helmet. He was recently asked who the athletes were that were on his Mount Rushmore and here is what Brady had to say:
“Michael Jordan was my childhood idol; he was unbelievable. I loved Kobe Bryant, I still love Kobe Bryant. Tiger [Woods], his competitiveness, what Rory McIlroy has done, I love that. Shohei Ohtani, what he’s done has been unbelievable. Barry Bonds- he went to my high school, I was the biggest fan of him growing up. Michael Phelps, I love him. Michael Johnson, A’ja Wilson, from my Las Vegas Aces. I love her: she’s amazing. Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, this little thing they got going; I love that, it’s really exciting.”
The 7-time Super Bowl champion’s list far exceeded the four slots reserved for Mt. Rushmore but a name that some may noticed was conspicuously absent was LeBron James. James’ absence from Brady’s list will certainly cause rancor amongst devotees of the Church of the Chosen One, as in their deranged minds any basketball discussion that is not steeped in absolute obeisance to James’s greatness is somehow “hating.”
