SACRAMENTO -- Recently Basketball has been reminding me too much of Game of Thrones and other popular fantasy.
- A young guy name Bran seems to have some kind of super powers recently.
- Kings are always being defeated, particularly by a group of Warriors who worship a large "Golden Bridge"
- Light the Beam? Derivative of the Beacons lit when Gondor calls for aid.
- I want to say the NBA ripped the whole points thing off from Dumbledore.
- Adam Silver is a vampire.
- It is a game played pretty much exclusively by giants.
- It is reminiscent of the ōllamaliztli game from the Aztecs, where a rubber ball was kicked through stone hoops.
- You show up to a game, and drink a magic potion that make you fight others.
While I'd say that the recent shuffle of college football coaches and NFL coach/reporter scandals are more George R. R. Martin esque, basketball has a bit more whimsy.
Other than that it is a pretty normal event.
