Comparing GOATs: Who’s Better Between Tom Brady and Martin Brodeur?

Conclusion

This was all in jest to get some hype around the Super Bowl. Brady is one of the greatest athletes of all time. Brodeur is also in that conversation, but he’s fighting to stay in the Top 20. Brady is sitting in the Top 5.

Still, it’s funny how similar these two are. Both played a majority of their career with an also-ran franchise (for those too young, the Patriots were a laughing stock in the 70s, 80s, and most of the 90s). They brought those franchises out of the basement and into prominence. Both franchises might have relocated if they didn’t play as they did. They both faced older presences that were looking to lose them before they fell off a cliff. Then, they both played for a short time in a different jersey (with different levels of success).

Brodeur is the greatest goalie ever. He has all the records, he has three Stanley Cups, and he played in two very different eras, and dominated in both.

Brady is just on a different level. He’s the best, and it’s not fair to compare any athlete to him. Again, Jordan is the one who sits atop the list. Brady is going after him. Brodeur still hasn’t passed Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux for best in his sport.
