Great career, instant HOFer. It’s amazing that his elite play spanned such a long career. I’m going to miss him. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
Can really make a case for either based on who you want to put on top, but I think it's undeniable that Brady saw more team "success" in winning championships - and I'm not talking strictly by numbers.
Brady did that in the NFL, where nowadays you don't see team dynasties or even really back-to-back winners. This is largely due to injuries and/or the sheer number of players on an NFL team (and therefore much more player movement every season). Also bear in mind the NFL is all single elimination games, so one "bad" game ends your season. Cincinnati probably doesn't beat KC in a best-of series.
The NBA is "easier" to build a dynasty in that regard because a team can lock in its core group and still be in championship contention every season. When an NBA playoff series only sees like 8-9 guys even see real playing time, it's easier for a single player of Jordan's caliber to take control of the game. Tom Brady can't do a thing about his team's defense or special teams.

I just ran across this. It's an old article 2/8/2022 6:45 AM PT. I hope Brady doesn't pull a Brett Favre. I've read where many wish he'd continue to play. I'm not one.
TOM BRADY TEASES POSSIBLE COMEBACK
'Never Say Never'
The G.O.A.T. might not be officially done just yet ... Tom Brady said Monday he could possibly come back to the NFL despite retiring last week.
The future Hall of Famer made the somewhat shocking revelation on his "Let's Go!" podcast ... hinting that the door on his football career ain't exactly slammed shut just yet.
"You know, I'm just going to take things as they come," Brady told Jim Gray on the show. "I think that's the best way to put it and I don't think anything -- you know, you never say never."
