NBA legend LeBron James finally got touched by the never-ending debate regarding, who is the greatest quarterback of all time. Is it the 7-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady or the modern-day great Patrick Mahomes? James, who himself is a protagonist of the GOAT discussion in his respective sport, gave a diplomatic tune to the Brady vs Mahomes theme. However, based on his statement, one can deduce that he is more gravitated towards the Chiefs QB Mahomes.

LeBron James Chimes In On The Never-Ending Tom Brady vs Patrick Mahomes Debate
In the latest DraftKings clip, LeBron weighed in on the ubiquitous debate, and said, "Pat Mahomes is obviously one of the greatest ever to play the sport." Nevertheless, he did not let down the fans of Brady too and made sure to give credit where it's due. He said, "You wouldn't be wrong if you said Pat Mahomes was your number one for greatest quarterbacks of all time. You wouldn't be wrong if you said Brady. It's just two guys that transcended the sport. Two guys that are just amazing."

Like most of the celebratory figures, LeBron James also refrained from picking one out of the two, but when it came to who he deemed as better, King gave the edge to Patrick Mahomes. Putting weight on his choice, LBJ said that Mahomes has the ability to pull-out anything and everything on the field.
LeBron compared Mahomes' career to his own. He said, "I think the best parallel that I would say between Pat Mahomes and myself in our first seven years is that we just kind of just changed the way we, you know, you kind of view the game. He's doing a h–l of a lot better than I did in my first seven years.". I think that he got, what, three chips already? " LeBron seemingly considers Patrick in the same league of his.
