Tom Brady called himself ‘the luckiest Dad in the world’ in the caption to a selfie he snapped Friday with his eldest child, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, at New York City‘s Madison Square Garden.
The former New England Patriots quarterback, 47, who shares the teen with actress Bridget Moynahan, 53, was seated courtside as the New York Knicks defeated the Brooklyn Nets in the Emirates NBA Cup.
The Super Bowl-winning quarterback wore eyeglasses and a black top in the photo at the Big Apple staple with his oldest son.
Brady, who also shares two kids with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, 44 – 14-year-old son Benjamin and 11-year-old daughter Vivian – played to the crowd at the basketball game.
At one point, he signed a football and tossing it into the crowd, showing off his arm strength.
Brady last week admitted he has had his peaks and valleys as a parent.

‘Being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have and we screwed up a lot and I’ve screwed up a lot as a parent,’ he said while appearing in New York City at the Fortune Global Forum November 12.
Brady last month began the latest chapter of his career, as he opened his tenure as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Raiders majority owner Mark Davis sat on a bench outside the team facility looking chipper for a guy whose team is seemingly reeling after a 2-4 start to the season and after the franchise traded away Davante Adams, one of the league’s best receivers.
‘Hey guys!’ Davis said, wearing an ear-to-ear grin as reporters made their way to the media room as he anxiously awaited Brady’s arrival among a small gathering of employees just inside the main lobby of the facility.
Using a cordless microphone to share a few words, Brady’s presence seemed to provide a breath of fresh air .
‘I have ultimate respect for Tom Brady,’ Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said. ‘He’s a pro’s pro, he´s a grinder. His whole life has been hard to challenge.
‘I know we look at the end result and see the championships and the “GOAT” label, but he’s worked his (butt) off. He´s worked his (butt) off into this opportunity to be a minority owner with the Raiders.
‘And I think it’s a plus whenever you can get somebody that´s been successful and has grinded and is not a silver spoon person.’

While there was still a buzz of Adams’ departure throughout the locker room, many of the Raiders were excited knowing Brady was in the building and what he could bring to the franchise.
Quarterback Aidan O´Connell said he’s looking forward to learning from the seven-time Super Bowl champion, and wouldn’t mind some one-on-one time.
‘I know he’s pretty busy, but any time he’s got, I´ll definitely pick his brain,’ O’ Connell said. ‘Obviously a great person to have in an NFL building. He’s someone who’s done it for so long at the highest level, and so you can learn a lot just in the things he says, even just his presence being around is awesome for us.’
Defensive captain Maxx Crosby said he´s hoping Brady´s competitive nature will permeate throughout the locker room.
‘He’s the ultimate competitor,’ Crosby said. ‘I know, personally, that’s the type of people I associate myself with, and having him around, I think it just adds value and winning to our culture.’
