Tom Brady praises LeBron James as 'the greatest ever' while appearing together on Fanatics Fest panel
The past, present and future greatness of sports was on stage at Fanatics Fest in New York on Saturday with LeBron James, Tom Brady and Victor Wembanyama among those participating in a live version of James' talk show "The Shop: Uninterrupted." Brady provided a quote to remember in praising James for his career achievements, particularly notable coming from the quarterback many consider the greatest in NFL history with seven Super Bowl championships. But to Brady, LeBron is the greatest of all time. "With the intensity that's been on him, the Olympics, the different teams that he's been on, he's always done things the right way," Brady said, via a video clip by Anthony Rivardo. "He's always risen above all the noise and B.S. and continued to deliver." "So you're witnessing the greatest ever and I hope you guys all appreciate that." James is the NBA's all-time leading scorer, winning four NBA championships (and playing in 10 NBA Finals), four NBA MVP awards and three Olympic gold medals. Advertisement But as Brady pointed out, he's faced a level of scrutiny during his career that might be unmatched going back to him entering the NBA as an 18-year-old straight out of high school, while also enduring criticism for how he left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat by announcing the decision on ESPN. Paul Rivera, Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Tom Brady and Kai Cenat appeared onstage at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 on June 21, 2025. (Photo by) (Slaven Vlasic via Getty Images) "The Shop" was always intended to feature unfiltered discussion from sports stars, emulating the conversation that would take place in a barber shop. Saturday's panel did not disappoint in that regard, featuring several memorable sound bites in addition to Brady's praise of James. Brady said that visiting New York always means taking jabs from New York Giants fans about the two Super Bowls that he lost to the team with the New England Patriots. Advertisement "How does it feel to be Eli Manning's son?" he said a Giants fan asked him while the two appeared at Fanatics Fest on Friday. James was asked how much longer he would play before retiring. The Los Angeles Lakers star has a $52 million player option for next season and can then become a free agent. After joking that Brady played football until he was 59 years old, James then said that Wembanyama — who led the NBA with an average of 3.8 blocks per game — might end up pushing him into retirement sooner than planned. "I can't play that much further," James said. "And the more and more time that I play, as long as he keeps smacking my shots into the f***ing stands, he's gonna make me retire." The 21-year-old Wembanyama then responded that James might retire after him. The San Antonio Spurs center recently finished his second NBA season, which was cut short with two months to play due to a blood clot in his right shoulder.

Tom Brady's WWE-style Fanatics Fest entrance interrupted by Eli Manning
The post Tom Brady's WWE-style Fanatics Fest entrance interrupted by Eli Manning appeared first on ClutchPoints. It was Tom Brady and Eli Manning's turn at Fanatics Fest NYC, and the two legendary quarterbacks brought back their legendary NFL rivalry – with some fun WWE flair – to an excited audience at the Javits Center. Brady and Manning had everyone standing and cheering at Fanatics Fest with a moment that seemed like it was out of a wrestling show with the music, props, and a light-hearted tackle. Advertisement Brady made a flashy entrance to the tune of WWE star Cody Rhodes' theme song, 'Kingdom,' sporting sunglasses and draping a WWE championship belt over his shoulder. As the music pumped, he paused mid-ramp to grab a New York Jets jersey, spat on it, and stomped it into the ground. But he didn't stop there—he pulled out a Eli Manning Giants jersey, and ripped it in half, sending the crowd into a complete frenzy. A few moments later, Manning himself made a surprise appearance, running on the stage and jumping on Brady from behind, recreating their famous battles on the turf. The whole scene felt right out of WWE, with both quarterbacks grinning as they exited together. WWE even shared the clip with the caption, 'It's chaos at Fanatics Fest,' adding to the excitement. This interaction was a nod to one of the most famous rivalries in NFL history. Brady may have seven Super Bowl victories under his belt, but it's worth noting that two of his three losses were against Manning and the New York Giants in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. Those setbacks not only kept Brady and the Patriots from achieving a flawless season in 2007 but also helped cement Manning's reputation in the playoffs. Advertisement The atmosphere at Fanatics Fest NYC was part of a larger event where sports stars embraced WWE-style entrances in front of live audiences. Earlier, Manning had entered Roman Reigns' theme song, even throwing in the 'Acknowledge Me' line, which added to the theatrical vibe. This event brought together fans, athletes, and pop culture under one roof.

Sauce Gardner has hilarious NSFW reaction to Tom Brady showing hate for the Jets
Well... Tom Brady still certainly feels a certain type of way about the New York Jets. The longtime New England Patriots quarterback and AFC East of the Jets took aim at the Green and White recently and cornerback Sauce Gardner was somewhat involved as well. Advertisement The legendary QB had the chance to take part in a WWE wrestling event at Fanatics "Fan Fest" in New York on Friday and he certainly took the villain route. While one clip of Brady only shows him with a Jets jersey, he took some hate out on a New York Giants top during the moment too. Relating to Gardner, Brady did a wrestling-style entrance at one point and snagged a Jets jersey. It had Gardner's name on the back. Brady appeared to (or pretended) to spit on the jersey after throwing it to the ground and he stomped on it. Gardner eventually saw the clip and reacted in a hilarious (and NSFW) manner. Advertisement Gardner relied to a clip of Brady's actions with a GIF image of rapper "50 cent" in which he says: "What you saying (explicit) me for." While Gardner likely knows Brady was playing into the bit in that moment, the reaction was top-notch nonetheless. Gardner's commentary can be found below: This article originally appeared on Jets Wire: Sauce Gardner has hilarious reaction to Tom Brady's hate for the Jets
