Examining which Game of Thrones houses a few Lakers legends would belong in

If you’re a human being right now that doesn’t watch the HBO series Game of Thrones, it feels like you’re in the minority of the world at this point. It’s the show that simply captivates fans by the millions every time that it’s on and it’s returning for Season 6 on Sunday, April 24 with many stories that fans are pining to find some kind of resolution to.

When it comes to the world of Game of Thrones, one of the things that stands out the most about the seven kingdoms is the distinct characteristics and tales of the many Houses and family names throughout the plot. The plot is wide-reaching and sprawling for the most part, but what that does is really give fans and viewers a scope of this fictional world and allow them to identify with the present and the history of this world as it pertains to each of these particular Houses.

With what fans can learn about these houses, though, it’s interesting to look at real-life people and wonder where they would fit in Game of Thrones, meaning what House their personalities or personal journeys fit the neatest into if they were a part of Westeros.

As such, that’s something we tried to figure out in the context of some of the legends in Lakers lore. We took a look at a handful of greats in the history of the franchise and determined which House they’d belong in. These are our conclusions.

NOTE: If you’ve never watched Game of Thrones and don’t want any spoilers, just stop here. There are plenty that follow.
