James congratulated Brady on an incredible career after the latter announced his retirement before returning. However, James doesn't believe Brady is the greatest athlete because football players don't play both sides of the field. In an episode of HBO's The Shop, he said: "(Football players) only have to play one side of the floor, man. Yes, Brady is unbelievable. Brady is the greatest quarterback I’ve ever seen. But he affects the game one way. And that’s by throwing the ball. And it’s great. And it’s great. He could play 22 years, but he don’t have to worry about certain things like a basketball player." When Tom Brady was asked about LeBron James' comments, he responded on another episode of HBO's The Shop, saying: "My style of play might not fit everybody else’s, what their view of what that position should be. I can really just be the best with the body that I was given." "There’s certain things that I certainly cannot do. And I have the awareness to realize, OK, I can’t do those things. You can’t do everyone else’s job. I can’t block, tackle, run, catch. I sure as hell can’t run. But I can throw the f**k out of the ball. So let me just do that, and let me do that really well. And if I can do that, then the team certainly can use me for that." Poll : Who is the better athlete?
