Good Question.

Tom Brady has 5 rings, he's 5-2 in Superbowls while Jordan has 6 rings, he's 6-0 in Championships.

But I think being 5-2 is better than being 6-0 because he made it to the Championship one more time, even though he lost.

There are other people in Basketball that have 6 rings. Scottie Pippen and Robert Horrey to name a few. Also Bill Russell and all those cats on the 50s and 60s Celtics.

So there are people in Basketball with 6 rings, but there's nobody in football thats 5-2 in Superbowls except Brady.

I'd say Tom Brady should be ranked higher in his respective sport than Michael Jordan because there are people that did what Jordan did, but nobody in football has done what Tom Brady did.

I'm building a team around Tom Brady.

Brady had to rely on his teammates more than Jordan did on his. Basketball and football is apples and oranges as a team game.

Ronaldo (Brazil). Dude has won everywhere on the highest level he's been. Even when he was fat and blew out his knees he was amazing. The most gifted soccer player i've ever seen with size, speed, power, touch, poise,etc. If dude played in this era he would be scoring 50 goals a season imo.

Yes, the 2001 Philadelphia 76ers and 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers immediately come to mind.

Marginal or below talent built around one star.

Football is much more of a team sport you can have a great offense but if your defense can't stop anyone you not winning squat. For as great as Brees has been if our defense had been better 2011 we woulda won the superbowl then too. That Niners game still haunts me.

I don't give a shit how good the QB or RB if their line is trash they ain't going nowhere.

Barry Sanders probably would have had all those records if he hadn't retired yet never sniffed winning a superbowl or even made it to the big game.

Clear as day. Great NBA players will be great to a degree regardless of the situation they're in. Great Quarterbacks Can't do shit without their supporting cast.

But I thought the premise of the thread is to "build a dynasty around 1 player". We're not talking about who played on the best team, we're talking about if you could start with one player and build a team around him. I pick Tom Brady because that's pretty much what happened. Nobody from the Superbowl from 2002 was still on the team in the 2017 Superbowl except for Brady.

There's a lot less to build in the NBA than there is in the NFL, so I give it to the NBA player by default.
