In the ongoing discourse about sports crossovers, NFL superstar Tom Brady made an unexpected pick for his quarterback among the basketball talents of Team USA.<\/p>\n

Brady was seen this summer in Paris supporting Team USA in various Olympic events, and networking with multiple NBA legends during the tournament’s group stage. In a video diary from the Paris Games that he uploaded on Wednesday, the ex-New England Patriots quarterback was asked to choose his ideal football team from the men’s and women’s basketball teams of Team USA.<\/p>\n

The renowned player, now 47-years-old, chose Boston’s Jayson Tatum as his quarterback\u2014an interesting choice, possibly influenced by a bit of bias.<\/p>\n

\u201cJayson Tatum would be my quarterback,\u201d Brady stated. \u201cFor the running back position, that\u2019s a difficult one, maybe Ant [Edwards] would fill that role. As for my receivers, I need two types\u2014a possession guy and a down-the-field threat guy. Perhaps LeBron could be moved to the receiver position and Anthony [Davis] could be my tight end, alongside Joel [Embiid].\u201d<\/p>\n

Brady continued, \u201cI think LeBron would be better utilized as a receiver given his downfield speed. So, with Tatum as my quarterback and Ant as my running back, I just need one more receiver… I’d go with DBook. That would make a great team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tatum was notably at the center of a major controversy within Team USA basketball this summer when he was sidelined for two games during the team’s successful Olympic gold medal campaign. Despite being an All-Star forward, he was repeatedly excluded from the Team USA line-up, averaging 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game with a field goal percentage of 38.1% in the tournament, playing fewer minutes than his Celtics teammates Jrue Holiday and Derrick White.<\/p>\n

However, in Brady’s perspective, Tatum seems to be the standout player and a certified QB1, drawing a lot of attention in The Town<\/em>.<\/p>\n
