NBA Superstars – The Game of Thrones Version

Posted on 26 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball, Miscellaneous

It seems everything at the moment is about Game of Thrones returning to HBO for its third season, which a lot more fantasy violence and intrigue as an excuse for sexy scenes on TV. With the NBA trying to find some weight between that and the NCAA tournament, a little fan promotion, by making house banners of the league’s biggest superstars – LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and a little lower down that scale, Kevin Garnett.
