LeBron James Had ‘Game of Thrones’ Armor Made for ‘Space Jam’ [LOOK]
For those who have seen Space Jam: A New Legacy, you’d know that the movie essentially serves as a shameless ploy to show off Warner Bros. IP. One of the properties that gets a surprising amount of screentime is Game of Thrones. The once-popular show ended a couple of years back and pretty much nobody enjoyed the final season. There are future spin-offs coming out but the excitement for those is minimal, to put it nicely.
That’s likely why WB shoehorned so much Game of Thrones marketing into the Space Jam sequel. In fact, there was almost more GoT stuff forced into the film. The Hollywood Reporter revealed that LeBron James actually had a GoT suit or armor made but it didn’t actually make it into the film.

The armor is nearly identical to that of The Hound’s. It would make sense to have LeBron play a parody of that role as the 6-foot-9 basketball star is even taller than the 6-foot-6 Rory McCann, who portrayed The Hound on Game of Thrones.
