Both LeBron James and Tom Brady are widely regarded as two of the GOATs (greatest of all time) in their respective sports.
Brady, who played most of his career with the New England Patriots, won six championships with the franchise. After 20 seasons in a Patriots uniform, he played three seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he won his seventh and final Super Bowl. He retired after the 2022 season.
The five-time Super Bowl MVP also holds the record for most pass completions, yards, and touchdowns. Additionally, he holds the record for most career wins by an NFL quarterback at 251.
Meanwhile, LeBron will be entering the 22nd season of his legendary NBA career. He has won four championships, four league MVPs, and has been named to the All-NBA First Team 13 times.
Aside from these major accomplishments, he is also the NBA's all-time scoring leader and still he has a chance to rake in more awards next season.
LeBron James and Savannah James have taken the time to support other American athletes at the Olympics
Aside from traveling to Paris to support her husband, Savannah has also been spotted supporting other Team USA athletes. She posted a now-expired Instagram Story showing her with her daughter, Zhuri Nova, watching track-and-field athlete Sha'Carri Richardson. The James family was also spotted at one of the beach volleyball games.
In an article written by Tom Dierberger of Sports Illustrated, not only did LeBron and his family watch the game, but they also endured a 66-minute delay because of the rain which caused most spectators to leave.
LeBron James and the USA Men's National Basketball Team's quest for the gold medal continues after going undefeated in the group stage. Their next game will be a quarterfinals matchup against Brazil.
