Tom Brady Says LeBron James 'Could Last 23 Years' Playing in the NFL, Praises Lakers Star in Video

LeBron James has managed to get the best of Father Time, playing in his 23rd season at 41 years old, and Tom Brady thinks he could have done the same thing in football.

Brady, who played 23 seasons in the NFL, said on The Tonight Show on Wednesday that the Los Angeles Lakers star would have had the same longevity in the NFL as he has had in the NBA.

"I don't know if he would've lasted 23 years playing... he actually could last 23 years," Brady said. "...He's ridiculous. I've always looked up to him and how he's handled himself on the court and off the court."

Fans will never know how James, who played high school football, would have done on the gridiron, but it's fair to assume he probably could have at least found a place in the NFL.

Whether he would have been able to play 23 years is a different story, though.
