The eventful year 2020 did not prevent several historical records from being equaled or broken. Rafa Nadal reached Roger Federer at the top of tennis with the conquest of his 20th Grand Slam. Lewis Hamilton tied all seven world titles Michael sSchumacher in the F1 and surpassed his mark for grand prix victories. The Lakers they caught the Celtics with his 17th ring, which immediately led to a debate about his leader LeBron James and the comparison with another basketball genius, Michael Jordan. Every time a galactic achieves a triumph of this dimension, the healthy discussion about the world throne arises. The same thing has happened in the last hours with Tom Brady, after landing on his 10th Super Bowl, in which he aspires to his seventh title. This time he has not done it in the ranks of the New England Patriots, your lifelong team, but with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which, coupled with his age of 43, gives a greater aura of feat. The persistence about whether Brady is the best player in the history of the NFL It is not new, it already sprouted in 2017 and in 2019, when it added its fifth and sixth titles.
There is a certain consensus in crowning him as such, although, as in all sports, there is always room for interpretation, because equating times is complex, as well as unfair. Names like his idolized Joe Montana will always appear in the bid. What is obvious is that Brady has entered the Olympus of the greatest athletes in history. What place he occupies in this imaginary ladder is a matter of taste, but he is already sitting at the same table as Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, Muhammad Ali, Serena Williams, Pelé, Eddy Merckx, Maradona, Valentino Rossi, Larisa Latynina or the already mentioned Nadal, Federer, Hamilton, Schumacher, Jordan and LeBron, to name several soon. If doubts remained, his presence in the LV Super Bowl has cleared all.
