But despite the respect that James paid to Brady, the NBA GOAT did not think that his NFL counterpart deserved to win Super Bowl MVP on Sunday. That honor, James believed, belonged to the entirety of the Buccaneers defense, which shut down Mahomes and the Chiefs offense through four quarters.

Despite James' protests, Brady took home the Super Bowl MVP award - the fifth of his career.
