We aren't talking about most athletic. That award easily goes to LeBron. We are talking about most dominant. Every bench warmer in the NBA is more athletic than Tiger Woods. Brady is right up there with Jordan. Anyone who thinks otherwise is uninformed. Many people said the same crap about Jordan while he was playing. "Oh yeah, Jordan is good, but he's only dominant is this soft league and would never match up against Wilt, Kareem and Russell."
Jordan had to play every facet of his sport. Brady dances around behind line and pops the ball off to real athletes. The pathetic fawning of "wow he is 40" is laughable, when Darrell Green was an NFL cornerback at 42, THAT is a phenomenal athletic feat, in terms of physical requirements Brady just needs to bounce on his toes for 5 seconds a play and duck when anyone comes within 3 yards of him. Its not exactly a physically demanding position.
Mentally Brady is incredible, no question about that but Jordan was a freak mentally AND physically.
