We may not be getting a season of Game of Thrones this year but at least the Bleacher Report's Game of Zones series is still around. For those who have not been following the series, it's an animated short that puts everyone's favorite NBA personalities in funny “Westerosan” vignettes – complete with British accents. It has been running for quite some time now and is already in Season Five.
So far, we have seen Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban portrayed as Olenna Tyrell and coaxing (at the time) newcomer Nerlens Noel to slavishly praise star Dirk Nowitzki (a shot at his demand for a harmless tweet that pokes fun at Nowitzki's age to be deleted); portraying the San Antonio Spurs as “white walkers” with the tag line “Championship is coming”; to even obvious gags like Steven Adams as a Dothraki warlord trying to comfort a grieving Enes Kanter in the midst of Kevin Durant's controversial free agency departure to the Bay Area.
Bleacher Report uploaded the second episode of the season entitled “The Sun Kings” and it pokes fun at – yes, you guessed it – the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings, two of the premier tanking teams in the league, as they initiate a parley to broker an alliance dubbed “House Kings-Suns” that will “dominate” the West. This leads to a dispute on whether it should be Sun-Kings and how the logo should be drawn, and confusion between dragons (Dragan) and foxes, and hilarity ensues.
