The NBA Finals is a Game of Thrones…

And Kevin Durant leads House Thunder.

In the Westeros Conference, the Oklahoma City Thunder are House Stark, specifically the Stark children. The execution of Ned Stark and the burning of Winterfell is a bit too much like the unfortunate demise of the Seattle Supersonics. Because of this, the Thunder children have been on their own, growing wiser and bonding together in their new territory.

Kevin Durant is equal parts Robb Stark and Jon Snow (the bastard child of the Supersonics): the noble hero, destined to rule the Throne. Russell Westbrook is Arya Stark: rebellious and courageous; a fearless warrior despite his small stature. James Harden is Sansa Stark: once under the command of Metta World Peace and his elbow, “Hearteater”, he is now free and is looking to make a name of himself. The other two Stark kids, Bran and Rickon, are Serge Ibaka and Thabo Sefalosha, important role players and members of the main unit. There is also the addition of Derek Fisher and Kendrick Perkins: Osha and Hodor, experienced outcasts using their skills to help the Thunder in their quest for the Throne.

It is not yet certain if House Thunder will rule Westeros, but if not this year, then possibly next year, or the year after. Their time will come. Regardless of the outcome of this series, the Thunder have established themselves as a major House in the Six Kingdoms (Divisions), and will be a team to acknowledge in the seasons to come.

Important Dates in History: November 9, 1934 (birth of Carl Sagan) and November 9, 1993 (Midnight Marauders and Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers both released)

“In 1971 I wrote and shot a scene for Annie Hall involving the Knicks and Earl The Pearl. I was extolling the concept of the physical over the cerebral, so I wrote a fantasy basketball game in which all the great thinkers of history – Kant and Nietzsche and Kirkegaard – played against the Knicks. I cast actors who looked like those philosophers to play those roles and they played against the real Knicks. We used the players on the team at that time including Earl, Bill Bradley and Walt Frazier, and we shot it inside Madison Square Garden after the last game of the season. Of course the Knicks were smooth and beat the philosophers easily; all their cerebration was impotent against the Knicks. But I cut the scene from the picture, not because it didn’t come out but because I had to keep the picture moving and it was too much of a digression. It didn’t break my heart not to use it in the film. I always feel that anything I cut out of a film is always a mercy killing.”

— Woody Allen, The Observer Sport Monthly
