Which Game of Thrones characters fit Lebron James and other NBA stars?
By Corey Rausch
What NBA Player is Game of Thrones character Tywin Lannister?
LeBron James
For much of his career, the narrative regarding LeBron James has been that he is the shadow commissioner, running the league as a pseudo-general manager, connected to his own agency while winning championships on the floor. Tywin Lannister was never the person sitting on the Iron Throne but he was long considered the man running the Seven Kingdoms while Aerys Targaryen, Robert Baratheon, Joffrey Baratheon and Tommen Baratheon wore the crown. Both James and Tywin will go down as some of the best winners of all time and James is looking to dominate into old age in much the same way.
What NBA Player is Game of Thrones character Jaime Lannister?
Kevin Durant
Both Kevin Durant and Jaime Lannister were brilliant talents. Jaime was named to the Kingsguard at a young age and was considered one of the greatest knights in the history of the Seven Kingdoms. Kevin Durant was a surefire future star in high school who grew into an MVP and a champion. Both fell from popularity when they stabbed their allies in the back (in Jaime’s case quite literally) but their reasons were more complicated than they allowed the world to know.
What NBA Player is Game of Thrones character Cersei Lannister?
James Harden
Forever connected to Jaime Lannister (Kevin Durant), Cersei Lannister is the character that every fan loves to hate. She is in a place of power and is a born leader. James Harden has drawn the ire of NBA fans for years because of the way he plays but he is a walking bucket and a transcendent talent. Harden is not afraid to blow up a situation to get himself to a better place. Cersei blew up a historical landmark with all of her rivals in it while drinking a glass of wine.
What NBA Player is Game of Thrones character Tyrion Lannister?
Chris Paul
Tyrion Lannister was often overlooked early in life for being too small but he was one of the smartest people in the country and was born to lead. Chris Paul is also smaller than those around him and but is known as the Point God for a reason. Both are culture changers and expert strategists. Paul even lives up to the iconic imagery of one of Tyrion’s first appearances, as both cast a shadow larger than any giant.
