Tom Brady is going back to the Super Bowl, which makes seven trips in 15 years. Excluding his rookie year, when Brady appeared in one game, and 2008, when he tore his ACL in the opener, Tom Brady has had a miraculous 15-year run, the greatest in modern team sports history.
Yes, it’s more impressive than Magic’s Lakers (nine Finals trips in 12 years), Bird’s Celtics (five Finals appearances in 12 years*), Jeter’s Yankees (seven World Series trips in 18 seasons**), Montana’s 49ers (four Super Bowl appearances in 11 seasons***), Gretzky’s career (five Stanley Cup trips in 21 seasons with four teams) and yes, Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls (six NBA Finals appearances in 10 years in the Windy City).
Remember, we’re talking about a 6th round draft pick. Brady has exceeded all expectations at the professional level. Magic, Bird, Jeter, Gretzky, Jordan – these guys were high draft picks who lived up to expectations. Magic and Bird were drafted into storied, stacked, franchises. You knew they’d be great. Montana was a 3rd round pick out of Notre Dame, but he was a legendary athlete in high school who went on to with a National title for the Irish.

MVP Rankings: Tom Brady and Matt Ryan Way Out In Front of Everyone Else
Tom Brady started his career at Michigan as the 7th QB on the depth chart.
But yes, I’m aware Brady will forever be tied to Bill Belichick. This goes both ways; Bill couldn’t win anything in Cleveland without Brady. And who can forget that Michael Jordan will forever be linked to Phil Jackson. MJ couldn’t get to the Finals until Jackson came along, and then he went 6-0.
It’s difficult to compare the NBA and NFL for a multitude of reasons, among them, Jordan plays at both ends; Brady doesn’t play defense or special teams.
But the other reason I’m going Brady over Jordan is the era they did it in...
Hmmmm..close

I just knew that I could depend on you to be the first one to chime in. I read your post clearly but I'm not quite ready to give it to Brady yet. However, IF he leads his team to the promised land in the upcoming Super Bowl he just might get my vote.
Can you imagine how Roger will feel IF he has to give Brady the MVP of the Super Bowl? This story in itself IF it happens might be the sports story of the year!

Brady plays what 20 games in a year tops? Jordan has his involvement in illegal gambling.
so what about driver Jimmy Johnson of NASCAR?

@ Jinxy, You're right but it makes for an interesting discussion.
@ Silly, Yes, Jimmie Johnson would fit into this category of the greatest too although many people don't consider NASCAR a sport.

Yes, this is the last week in the regular season for college basketball and next week all of the conference tournaments will take place all over the nation. Selection Sunday will take place on March 12th for the entire field for the NCAA Tournament and I can't wait for March Madness to begin.

Hate saying "if". But
"if" Jordan didn't retire the 1st time,this conversation wouldn't be taken place. As far as MVP's are concerned, Jordan got screwed outta 2 of them. Brady,to his credit-is the best quarterback of all time. One thing both have in common,is both made their teammates play above or over their level of skill set.

Jordan was forced to retire due to his massive gambling habits that I still say to this day got his dad murdered.

Another thing that both Jordan and Brady have in common is they both played their professional careers with only one team.

And . . . he has the rare ability of keeping the media way from him for the most part to enjoy his private life.
