Tom Brady … truly the greatest of all-time.
The New England Patriots (and Tampa Bay Buccaneers) legend had an opportunity to showcase his athleticism on the basketball court while in New York City for Fanatics Fest.
Not much longer after he celebrated his 47th birthday Aug. 3, Brady was seen on video putting down a dunk while wearing simple street clothes. (RELATED: A.J. Terrell Inks 4-Year, $81 Million Contract Extension With Falcons)
“Don’t ask me to do it now, it’s been a long time,” said Brady right before dunking the ball.
The dunk comes nearly two years after he retired from the National Football League, with his last season being in 2022 with the Buccaneers.
Despite winning seven Super Bowl rings, Brady wasn’t really known for his athleticism, which makes the clip from Fanatics Fest even more impressive.

What makes this even more incredible is the fact that he made it look so easy, my man put the ball in the hoop like he was throwing a balled-up piece of paper in the trash.
But should we be so surprised though?
This is the same guy who played a pickup game of basketball with Michael Jordan.
(2015) Never forget when Tom Brady and MJ played a random game of pickup together.

Now I’m like … where would Tom Brady be today if he had pursued a career in the NBA?
