Both Tom Brady and LeBron James had a remarkable career especially in 2018 both were at the peak of their career. Brady was still with the New England Patriots and LeBron James was playing with the Los Angeles Lakers. At that time everyone dreamt of seeing these two players together.
This sentiment was also echoed by Tom Brady himself. He was impressed by LeBron’s abilities and skills and shared his willingness to collaborate with LeBron James. However, his wish couldn’t be fulfilled.
When Tom Brady wanted LeBron James to be his partner in NFL
Once LeBron shared stills from his practice on Twitter which gained the attention of Tom Brady. The NFL legend, always on the lookout for talent and the opportunity to create a formidable partnership, didn’t hesitate to express his admiration for James’ skills.
He took to social media and wrote, “Damn bro come play tight end, you and Gronk would be unstoppable!!!!”

This invitation was a testament to his belief in James’ potential as a football player and his desire to see the two GOATs team up on the gridiron.
While Tom Brady’s invitation to the NBA legend may have seemed like a lighthearted gesture, it highlighted the mutual respect and admiration that exists between the two sporting icons.
Are James and Brady Friends?
Although they compete in different sports and have distinct skill sets, Tom and LeBron have often acknowledged each other’s accomplishments and displayed camaraderie on various occasions.
Their friendship may not be characterized by constant interactions or shared experiences on the field, but it is evident that the two legends hold each other in high regard.
After LeBron secured his fourth NBA championship in the Orlando bubble, the NFL legend was quick to offer his congratulations.
In a tweet, he wrote, “Congrats to my brother @KingJames on winning his 4th championship. Not bad for a washed-up old guy!”
It shows that they both have immense respect for each other and are on good terms. While Brady’s invitation to James sparked a lot of excitement among fans it couldn’t happen. Now that Brady is retired it seems impossible to ever witness this collab happen. However, we can still expect their collab off the field.
