Tom Brady Showed Off Arm Strength During NBA Game On Friday
Yesterday at 11:40 AM
Tom Brady is now an NFL broadcaster, but he took the opportunity to show that he's still recently retired during an NFL game on Friday night.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion was at Madison Square Garden for the game between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets, and as he was introduced to the crowd, he showed off his impressive arm strength.
Brady grabbed a football and launched it into the crowd, winning them over after the Jets and Giants contingent booed him when he appeared on the video screen.
Brady signed the football before tossing it into the stands, giving fans a reason to change their opinion.

Brady may be the greatest quarterback of all time, but he was always likely to receive a frosty welcome in New York. During his time with the New England Patriots, Brady was a constant foil for the division rival Jets and the Buffalo Bills.
The New York Giants were able to defeat Brady twice in the Super Bowl, ending the Patriots' bid for the first 19-0 season in NFL history the first time around.
These days, Brady is watching the action from a new perspective in his first season as a broadcaster for FOX.
The legendary quarterback has received mixed reviews to begin his commentary career, but the network is hopeful that he'll become an iconic voice like John Madden, Cris Collinsworth and Troy Aikman.
Brady will get the chance to call the biggest game of the season in his rookie year as a broadcaster, as FOX will broadcast this year's Super Bowl. This year's championship game is in New Orleans, providing a cool parallel between Brady's broadcasting career and his playing career.
It's a full-circle moment for Brady, who will be calling his first Super Bowl in the same stadium that he won his first as a player.
This week, Brady will be on the call for a classic NFC North matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears.
Fans can tune into the game on Sunday at 1 PM ET, live from Soldier Field in Chicago.
