GameofThrones Arya Reacts: Michael Jordan comparisons sweep internet NotToday
Arya Stark was the Most Valuable Player in Sunday night’s episode of Game of Thrones, and her skillful move has Twitter users comparing her to a basketball legend. Michael Jordan’s name has popped up all over the social media platform in reference to the young Stark, as she used a similar tactic to the famous athlete when killing the Night King to end the Battle of Winterfell.
Arya switching her blade from one hand to the next has drawn hundreds of comparisons to Jordan’s famous hand switch, which he used throughout his career to stump opposing players and make baskets with an unassuming arm. From mentions to memes, the two were paired vigorously after the Game of Thrones episode aired on Sunday.
Sports editor Dave Zirin agreed on his own account. “Arya Stark > Michael Jordan > Lebron > Kareem....I mean...holy s***.” The way Arya jumped onto the Night King before she killed him also drew comparisons to Jordan and his legendary dunks. Videos of Jordan in his Chicago Bulls heydey spread across the social media site, along with the #GameofThrones hashtag.
