Watch this hilarious Game of Thrones-themed NBA parody
By Corey Smith
Last year, five-time NBA All Star Kyrie Irving was traded from the Cavaliers to the Celtics. It inspired a lot talk, and also a lovingly animated Game of Thrones parody from Bleacher Report starring LeBron James as Cersei Lannister. Let’s watch:
The details in the video are impressive, and much like Thrones itself, it’s best viewed multiple times. Kyrie’s departure echoing Tyrion’s fleeing from King’s Landing is an especially nice touch.
This video is only one in Bleacher Report’s long-running Game of Zones series, with more on the way.
Elsewhere, James Faulkner’s character may have died in Game of Thrones season 7, but he’s keeping him alive on Twitter:
You’d have thought dragonfire would improve his attitude.
A good attitude is the only thing getting YouTuber steve through his Game of Thrones experience. He’s watching the entire series out of order, with each new episode dictated by fans, which leads to some hilarious misunderstandings. This week: “Sons of the Harpy,” the fourth episode of season 5.
Finally, does the name Jonathan Van Ness mean anything to you? He’s the guy who hosts Gay of Thrones, one of the funniest Game of Thrones recap shows out there.
He’s also the style expert on Netflix’s revival of Queer Eye, so good on him for climbing the career ladder. But we’ll always remember him as a Game of Thrones superfan. So does The Wrap, which asked him to predict the end of the show. He was happy to oblige with some far-out theories about Bran Stark:
"I think he’s the Night King. I think he’s the Night King! Their faces are eerily similar, and he can time travel. Cause I used to think that he was gonna warg the dragons, but maybe it’s not that he’s gonna warg them, he’s gonna f—ing–excuse my French–but he’s gonna control the zombie dragon. Which I just didn’t see that s— coming at all. Even with that blue dragon eye on the poster, I still didn’t see that coming. I had no idea it was gonna hurt so bad."
I think he’s wrong, but it would probably make for a good Gay of Thrones episode.
