Tom Brady has been the definition of excellence and longevity throughout his career. His year in Tampa Bay shows that he can succeed outside of the Patriots. What has defined his career is his greatness over a long period of time: that is also true of Stephen Curry’s shooting. Both are great players in their respective sport, and both have cemented their legacies within their leagues with their consistent performances.
This statistic highlights the greatness of Tom Brady. While the smaller sample size is important to take into account, it is still crazy to think about the fact that Tom Brady has reached the Superbowl at almost a 50% rate for his career. That is an incredible achievement for anyone, and it is clear why many people, including NBA players, think Tom Brady is the GOAT quarterback.
