Sorry, New England fans, Tom Brady is not the greatest athlete of the 21st century, according to a new ranking from ESPN.
That would be legendary swimmer Michael Phelps, who won 23 Olympic gold medals, including eight at the 2008 Beijing games alone. No athlete has won more gold medals at a single Olympics in history.
There’s also a member of the Los Angeles Lakers ranked ahead of Brady. NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James came in fourth.
Brady rounds out the top-five at No. 5. His seven Super Bowl rings are more than any NFL franchise.
