“This guy has been my motivation”: LeBron James on Tom Brady
However, one great sporting personality who was expected to pay a tribute to Brady as he shares a great relationship with him did not say anything on the quarterback’s retirement announcement. The man we are talking about is LeBron James. Recently, James revealed why he did not say anything.
“I was personally in shock. When the initial announcement came out, I didn’t retweet anything, I didn’t say anything because I wanted to make sure I heard from him, and when he came out with his announcement I was like, this guy has been my motivation factor for the last few years.”
“To be able to do what he has done at this stage, he has been the leader of the team, at this stage, people gravitate towards him, his energy, and how he prepares,” he said, adding that he is a little disappointed that Brady decided to retire. Indeed, Tom has had a fabulous career and his impact on the game is immeasurable.
