Adam and Craig Malamut’s animation called Game of Zones (a parody of the Game of Thrones saga) won a special edition released today! For those who have never heard of this exciting epic, just know that these medieval stories revolve around the top NBA stars and the main facts of the season.

The Game of Zones series is now four years old and is about to end. In this new chapter striking facts of this season such as rivalry between Los Angeles teams, Lebron James wig, Kemba Walker’s transfer to Boston Celtics, Carmelo Anthony’s struggle to finding a team, the drama between the Celtics and Kyrie Irving, and even the overdose of Dion Waiters are present with a lot of humor (Larry Bird telling Waiters a truth about basketball today would have been the cause of his neurotic attack).

Those who have followed the Game of Thrones epic will surely understand deeply the context of many situations of animation. For example the reference to the North and how Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis are characterized as the terrifying “White Walkers”.

The Series creator Adam Malamut was a freelancer 5 years ago when he as producing a show that eventually inspired “Game of Zones”, called “Sports Friends“.

But after a Bleacher Report executive encouraged him to invest in something related to a specific sport culture, Malamut considered associating his creativity with the world o NFL:

“Football has a feel like armies; you get these 53-man rosters,” Malamut said. “And they actually have helmets.” But in the end, the creator decided directed his script to the drama and pop culture of NBA:

“The culture of the sport is just so fun,” Craig Malamut added. “Everyone knows the personalities, and everyone knows the drama so much more.”

The first episode came out in 2014 during the season’s playoffs, and the goal was to connect players and franchises within the conflict stories of characters and houses fighting for glory and survival in Game of Thrones.
