"So fake" - NFL fans react as Tom Brady labels LeBron James "the greatest ever"

Fans reacted to seven-time Super Bowl champ Tom Brady calling LeBron James the greatest player of all time.

Brady also heaped praise on James for his work ethic, dedication and passion for his sport, explaining at the 2025 Fanatics Fest in New York on Saturday:

"From the intensity that's been on him, Olympics, the different teams that he's been on, he's always done things the right way. He's always risen above all the noise and B.S. and continued to deliver. You're witnessing the greatest ever and I hope you guys all appreciate that."

Fans reacted to Tom Brady's praise for LeBron James, considering that he had left James off a list of GOATs across sports earlier this month.

"People be so fake when the person is right in front of them Tom just left Bron off his GOAT of GOATs list lmaooo," one commented.

"Well TB cheated and got coddled, so his words hold no weight imo I mean what would u expect him to say with LBJ sitting right there? most of these athletes glaze each other anyways, so it's expected," another said.

"Tom Brady knows ball lol," one wrote.

"Brady hyping LeBron? Legendary bromance vibes!" another said.

"LeBron is not the greatest ever. He's great but not the greatest ever," one argued.

Earlier this month, Tom Brady, asked to share his Mount Rushmore of GOATs across sports, named NBA legends like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, Shohei Ohtani and even WNBA stars Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.
