Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady’s seventh Super Bowl victory on Sunday cemented his legacy as the greatest quarterback ever and the most accomplished player in NFL history. It also ignited a conversation about who is the Greatest of All Time across all team sports — the so-called GOAT of GOATs.
We could argue this until a 53-year-old Brady wins his 11th title, but I would rather consider how the conversation around his brilliance could help us settle a more nuanced GOAT discussion in the NBA.
Brady’s seventh ring gives him one more than Michael Jordan, which has been the impetus for much of the all-sports GOAT discourse over the past two weeks.
