Tom Brady… truly the greatest player of all time.
The New England Patriots (and Tampa Bay Buccaneers) legend was in New York for Fanatics Fest when he got the chance to show off his athleticism on the basketball court.
“Don't tell me to do it now. It's been a long time,” Brady said just before taking the dunk.
The dunk came nearly two years after he retired from the National Football League, spending his final season with the Buccaneers in 2022.
Despite his seven Super Bowl wins, Brady isn't known much for his athleticism, which makes the Fanatics Fest footage all the more impressive.

What's even more incredible is the fact that he did it so easily – my husband put the ball in the goal as if he were throwing a rolled up piece of paper in the trash.
But is it really that surprising?
This is the same guy who played pickup games of basketball with Michael Jordan.
(2015) Never forget when Tom Brady and MJ played a random pickup game together.

Thinking about it now…what would Tom Brady be like if he had pursued an NBA career?
