Eighteen months.

That’s how long it’s been since the last episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones, during which time South Florida’s various major athletic teams have won a grand total of one postseason contest — that thanks to Dwyane Wade, who wasn’t even here when that last episode aired.

There’s always been some crossover between sports fans and Thrones fans, except in our network, in which a surprising number of millennials have never seen the show. This is where I would compare Giancarlo Navas of Miami Heat Beat to Reek if I wanted to be mean. But I don’t.

But we did feel it was appropriate to ask the question above.

We already know that Pat Riley is Tywin Lannister — no, we don’t expect Riley to die on a toilet. Bleacher Report made the comparison in a brilliant Game of Zones video, and others have come to the same conclusion:

Pat Riley = Tywin Lannister
– "The Godfather" figure
– The resemblance tho
– Led a dynasty (House Lannister / the Miami Heat)
– Manages LeBron/Cersei and DWade/Jaime pic.twitter.com/EqBqqZYoOa

We threw the rest to you and, as usual, you delivered….

Let’s start with the best one, which a few submitted….

Dwyane Wade is Jon Snow. Has come back from the dead and is never truly respected for his greatness among the realm.

Dwyane Wade is Jon Snow, Jon Snow died and was resurrected, Wade left to Chicago and was resurrected by coming back to Miami

This one was kind of obvious…

Dragic is Drogon 🐉

Some Big Three takes… (no Red Wedding here)….

Is Bosh Robb Stark? Is that too sad?

— Jason Albert (@jalbert305) April 14, 2019

Lebron James is Drogon.

LeBron is Stannis. Wants conflict, but can't prevail. Comfortable taking credit for things that he had little/nothing to do with, and while probably being the character that should have ruled over all let outside influences cost him that throne.

Another one we saw a few times…

Spo is Tyrion. A strategic mastermind and the son of Tywin (Pat Riley).

Dolphins fans jumped in….

 

Dan Marino is Ned Stark

— KC Graphis (@BarGraff54) April 14, 2019

Ryan Tannehill = Edmure Tully

— Juan Hernandez (@evilmiamimonkey) April 14, 2019

Jeff Ireland is Walder Frey

— AC (@AlejEleven) April 14, 2019

So did Marlins fans, those that are left…

Mike Piazza is Ed Sheeren playing the Lannister soldier in the Season 7. Was present for like 2 minutes and everyone thought to themselves “Wtf?!?”

Michael Hill is Cersei. Amongst all of the chaos he still has the top job.

— Michael Silberling (@MSilb7) April 14, 2019

Jeffrey Loria is King Joffrey.

A little love for Mr. 305….

Mr. 305 (UD) this character is extremely loyal and a good warrior. Always fighting for who she believes in pic.twitter.com/54KIV3kbCd

Some of you had jokes…

Whiteside is Stannis Baratheon. Sits around complaining and announcing how great he is all the time but gets trounced once battle starts.

Of course, #JustiseBetter was associated with a couple of series favorites…

Daenerys is Justise. Young character from a historic lineage (Duke) that has 3 dragons that we grow along with as the show progresses (Bam,Jrich,DJJ) and wants to rule over the kingdom. TELL ME IM WRONG!

— Veinhype 🇵🇷 (@veinhype) April 14, 2019

Justise Winslow is Arya Stark. No one believed in him/ her and now they’re BETTER!

— OmarKulture (@Omarglt89) April 14, 2019

 

But we had to slip this in before the wire…

@EthanJSkolnick is the 3-eyed raven. Predicted what this Heat season was really about
