Everybody has an opinion and LeBron’s matters.
If you’ve been paying attention to the start of the NFL season, Patriots legend Tom Brady made his broadcasting debut on Sept. 8 during the Cleveland Browns vs. Dallas Cowboys game. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in NFL history, Fox signed Brady with a lucrative deal to serve as a color commentator. Unfortunately, his first appearance in the booth drew mixed reviews.
Some critics, including renowned sportscaster Dan Patrick, highlighted areas where Brady struggled. “There were pauses, his cadence wasn’t smooth, there was very little synchronicity,” Patrick commented. “He needed to be more like he’s at the line of scrimmage… You need to see it, say it, get out.”
Anyway, the NBA GOAT, arguably LeBron James, stepped up in his defense. During an appearance on DraftKings’ GoJo & Golic show, James was asked about possibly following in Brady’s footsteps after his playing career.
“He’s been great so far,” James said, offering support for Brady’s transition to broadcasting.
Get this: James hasn’t committed to becoming a full-time sportscaster after his NBA career, but he did express interest in possibly making a guest appearance in the booth here and there.
Whatever the future holds for LeBron James in the sportscasting booth, one thing is for sure: he’s still hooping as a top player in the league… And thinks Tom Brady is doing just fine.
