LeBron James says he was really jealous of Tom Brady's boozy Super Bowl parade.

Brady and the rest of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers celebrated Sunday's victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a boat parade through Tampa on Wednesday, enjoying music, dancing, and a few beverages.

The 43-year-old quarterback was caught on video stumbling away from the parade with the help of a friend and a huge smile on his face. He later put the incident down to having a few drinks of "avocado tequila."

Unlike Brady, James was unable to celebrate the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA Finals victory in October with a parade due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Man o man I wish we were able to have our parade too cause I would have been walking beautifully just like you!" James wrote to Brady on Twitter, responding to footage of the quarterback struggling to walk straight.

As well as having admiration for Brady's sea legs, James is also a big admirer of Brady's skills on the football field.

After Brady won his seventh Super Bowl ring and his fifth Super Bowl MVP award on Sunday, James called him the greatest of all time.

"IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW!! GOAT TALK," James said on Twitter, adding in a separate tweet: "TOMPA BAY."

In an interview on Monday following the Lakers' win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, James, 36, also said Brady's victory was inspiring for a man of his age.

"I've been watching him for quite a while now, and just to see him go out and do the things that he's done in his career, for him to win another one yesterday in the fashion that he won, it was pretty cool," he said.
