What NBA Player is Game of Thrones character Samwell Tarly?
LaMelo Ball
Like Samwell Tarly, LaMelo Ball was the younger brother of a physically gifted son poised to carry the family legacy. Randall Tarly, like LaVar Ball, was an extremely abrasive father. Both made the paths to greatest tougher for their sons than they needed to be. Both Ball and Tarly had to go far from home (New Zealand and the Wall respectfully) to hone their personality and skills before showing the world just how much of a genius they always were.
What NBA Player is Game of Thrones character Brienne of Tarth?
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Westeros had never seen anything like Lady Brienne of Tarth. She was noble, powerful, loyal and honorable. She towered over the competition and was the greatest knight in the land, eventually rising to the rank of Lady Commander of the Kingsguard. She was also the first woman to be made a knight in the history of Westeros. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the evolution of the game and is efficient and dominant. More importantly, when other stars would have left the small market for shinier locales, Antetokounmpo committed to Milwaukee much like Brienne committed to the Starks.
What NBA Player is Game of Thrones character Davos?
Ben Simmons
Davos Seawoth is famous for his smuggling ways and for his loyalty. He was willing to do whatever it took to find the right man on the throne. He also had two notable limitations: he had the fingers from one of his hands removed as punishment for his crimes and is unable to read. Ben Simmons is also famous for his shifty defensive tactics but has a notable limitation: floor spacing.
What NBA Player is Game of Thrones character Oberyn Martell?
Anthony Edwards
Oberyn Martell, the Red Viper of Dorne, burst onto the scene like a shooting star across the sky. He had a magnetic personality and was an athletic marvel. He was the type of fighter the entire realm respected. Anthony Edwards was the number one pick in the draft and has put together a highlight reel of dunks that have made him a star. Pride cometh before the fall, as Martell learned in painful fashion in a trial by combat. So far the only penance that Edwards has had to ay is missing the playoffs.
