Tom Brady and LeBron James are two of the greatest players in their respective sports. 

On Monday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers star decided to hold a wide-ranging Q&A session on Twitter, which saw fans pepper him with questions about basketball, movies, books and video games. 

Presented with an opportunity to ask James anything, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback apparently couldn't resist and decided to join in on the fun.

With both players already highly skilled at their own sport, Brady questioned which one of them would come out victorious in an ice hockey shootout. 

"You and me, 5 rounds, ice hockey shootout, who wins?" Brady asked.

James responded by choosing himself as the victor, though he joked he would have to shoot from his knees, a possible reference to his size or lack of ice skating skills.

"Me but barely. May be swinging from my knees though," James replied, along with several laughing emojis. 

It's unclear if the ice hockey shootout will happen, but it comes as Brady is already set to participate in another sporting event outside of football next month.
