The dаy Mіchael Jordаn regretted сhallenging Tom Brаdy to а GOAT-off

Nobody can deny that Michael Jordan and Tom Brady are two of the greatest athletes in history, each of them is considered the greatest from their respective sports. While Michael Jordan became a cultural phenomenon with the ChicagoBulls, Tom Brady has been doing the same over the last 20 years. But there was a time in which MJ had the upper hand from Brady in regards to who was considered the all-time great. This takes us to a curious anecdote that took place back in 2015 in the Bahamas, with Michael Jordan and Tom Brady playing a golf match during their vacations. What happened after that, will remain as one of the greatest behind-the-scenes sports stories ever told.

When this game between the two GOATs happened, Michael Jordan could boast about his six championships with the Chicago Bulls. At the time, Brady was still playing for the New England Patriots and he still only had 4 NFL championships. There was a specific moment in which Michael Jordan was taunting Tom Brady and even challenging him to surpass the feat Michael Jordan completed during the ’90s decade. No other sports atlete in modern history had ever won more than 6 trophies with their respective team. Jordan remained alone in that category, but then he decided to provoke Tom Brady…

 

Come back to me when you’ve got six championships.

We all know what happened next.

Jordan has a legend surrounding his trash talk, all NBA players knew better than to provoke ‘Black Jesus’. But Jordan should’ve thought twice before he issued this challenge to Tom Brady. Not only did the QB matches those six championships but he surpassed them with a different team back in 2021. Tom wen’t on to win the 2017, 2019 and 2021 NFL championship. There’s still one more challenge left for Tom that Michael Jordan also completed. Winning a championship after coming back from retirement is something MJ did and a great chance for Brady to finally prove who is the ultimate GOAT.
