Tom Brady showed off his athleticism on the court at Fanatics Fest in New York City.
The legendary former quarterback successfully dunked a basketball while wearing a t-shirt and jeans at the event after celebrating his 47th birthday on Aug. 3.
“Don’t ask me to do it now, it’s been a long time,” Brady joked before finishing the right-handed jam.
He’s almost two years removed from his playing days, as his final NFL season occurred with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022.
It’s an impressive feat for Brady, as he wasn’t exactly known for his athleticism on the field despite his seven Super Bowl victories. He’s poked fun at it in the past, bringing up his dunking ability in a 2019 social media post responding to a quote from LeBron James.
Brady crossed over into basketball several times throughout the summer, as he drafted a roster of NFL skill-position players using the United States men’s basketball Olympic team on Aug. 14.
He was also seen catching up with James at the Paris Olympics on Aug. 5.
Brady’s excellence during his playing career is well-known, as he’s the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards as well as passing touchdowns. In addition to his seven championships, he owns three MVP awards and 15 Pro Bowl nods.
While he won’t be under center anymore, he’ll still be a part of the 2024 NFL season. Brady’s set to begin his broadcasting debut for Fox alongside Kevin Burkhardt on Sept. 8 during a clash between the Dallas Cowboys and the Cleveland Browns. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. ET.
