[@legendsneverdie5482]

You forgot when Kobe said to lebron “you need to carry on the game” that that was a reference to Kobe’s last ever tweet

[@KayDee215]

Thank you. I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed it was missed.

[@ben1ben2ben1]

It was "continuing to move the game forward"

[@jasongreaves227]

Yeah was about to comment that

[@macklane4127]

Very creative

[@ilhaamb1525]

6:22 “I have a dream...” Earlier this season, Kyrie somewhat compared his situation (getting hate from media, etc) to that of Martin Luther King Jr. it’s a very subtle reference to MLK’s iconic speech

[@nathanthompson8647]

Also when he says he is all seeing it is a reference to him on the JJ Redick podcast

[@TheBrettN]

That’s what I thought when I heard those famous 4 words.

[@cobsob461]

Ilhaam B yep

[@conn_or_pro2218]

I wouldn't use the word subtle

[@epicmummies5003]

This is just one of those things that should NEVER EVER END

[@AmanSingh-bt1rx]

All good things must come to an end .... But fuck this quote , it really shouldn't end ...

[@Paqqqman]

If you want to blame something, blame Game of Thrones... this series is following that arc obv I've never watched GOT so I have no idea where it's going, but yes THIS series will be sorely missed

[@epicmummies5003]

@@Paqqqman lol, I guess that's true

[@justincbfw]

Each episode is becoming the best episode every time

[@frankschaefer8890]

Yeah this year because I feel like season 6 was a low

[@robesch88]

I have an unpopular opinion, I don't particularly like this season. They concentrate too much on the unreal plot and less on reality-based jokes.

[@SippingVino]

Roberto De Marzi that’s because this is literally how the game of thrones series ended and there were moments that were references more than jokes

[@robesch88]

@@SippingVino Yes but why did they have to follow the plot of game of thrones so much? This series is literally the first time that this show tries to have a plot instead of single scenes, and I feel like it worked way better before. There were more jokes and a lot of got and NBA references. This season was way less jokes and a lot of senseless plot. I think it is because they needed to wrap it up somehow, but for me it didn't work well

[@cookiebetts6341]

19:46 Gobert and Anthony Davis are holding shields, a reference to them being elite rim protectors.

[@duck5304]

11:40 is also a reference to Kobe's last tweet: "Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames Much respect my brother"

[@ethandavies3254]

Sí

[@aidantrachtenberg7476]

Mike’s face when doc told him no 😂. Also dame got bars.

[@vik_k354]

For everyone who’s sad about Game of Zones ending, Bleacher Report has stated that they will try to continue this series

[@zachigodino5854]

Yey

[@pinoyboi8719]

Actually?!

[@vik_k354]

Levine Punzalan and Zachigo Dino, they said they’re going to try, but I don’t know how. I really hope they figure out a way to continue it

[@jamescarter8950]

Source?

[@gravityfel7896]

Wtf? That basically means they'll continue GoZ with completely different writers. That.....might not be good.

[@Augustp08]

The reference with jokic and the world beginning could also be hinting at the NBA ABA merger

[@tyrantswag1289]

Not that The NBL AND BAA not The NBA AND ABA

[@Makyura43]

Its hinting that Game of Zones is merger of Game of Thrones and NBA

[@themo4343]

1

[@jollyboyjoe8619]

Makyura43 yes finally someone sees it

[@jamesmeuwissen7823]

The NBL and BAA merged in 1946 to create the NBA.

[@cookiebetts6341]

9:34 Harden also calls CP3 a snitch. Another reference to CP3 ratting out Knights for un-tucked Tunics

[@vlfflv]

Beal was snubbed even from the all snubb team

[@gopall-5504]

Fax tho

[@ninetiesbabyray5083]

Beal PG and KAT don’t fit the hated by the media narrative tho

[@teamalphabeta1823]

@Aroosh Kumar bro klay is injured

[@austinfeng735]

I think KAT does because he is the largest snub in all-star and the Knights of the Round Ball, because his 3 point shooting from a big man is probably one of the best weapons against a 90s team who does not think such 3 point shooting is even possible.

[@isaacrussell2368]

I do think this all snubbed team gets a ton of hate from the media though. Everyone knows that Beal got snubbed though.

[@cookiebetts6341]

1:20 In Seattle there is a Storm looming, a reference to the WNBA Team, The Seattle Storm and their weather, usually being overcast. The tower can be a dilapidated and obsolete version of the Space Needle as well.

[@ethandavies3254]

Ya that’s why he said Seattle tower, he prolly meant the needle

[@GTVAS]

They are also wearing Sonics colors

[@lhourdeanthony7273]

The "Old Jersey" reference is possibly a reference to "New Jersey", a former NBA team replaced by Brooklyn...

[@francescoiaross]

Am I the only one that thought Jokic saying “our world was created when the gods smashed two universes together” was a reference to the NBA/ABA merger

[@FennyWhopper]

Ichabod Iarossi I didn't think about it like that... But now that u said it it makes a lot of sense

[@eddelapena22]

It may be also because of the BAA/NBL merger in the 40s

[@TheElectricCentaur]

The whole show is the Game of Thrones and NBA universes smashed together.

[@animeisgodly8424]

Personally I thought it was a fourth wall break because technically the show is Game of Thrones and the NBA smashed together

[@elanzankman4399]

The Game of Zones universe already has a backstory that they showed in the previous episode

[@harambe2099]

9:25 another missed joke is Kawhi leaving silently just like how he left the raptors silently

[@alfredobalboa2882]

SoupaHahtFyre agree to disagree but I wouldn’t call Kawhi leaving the raptors as “silent”. He was faced with constant attention that off season from the media, sports shows, and generally everyone that offseason.

[@harambe2099]

Alfredo Balboa there was like a 1-2 week stretch where no news came from him, and all of the sudden one afternoon he signed with clippers

[@alfredobalboa2882]

SoupaHahtFyre that’s the point. Since he didn’t say anything it got to the point where there were cameras waiting for his plane in land in Los Angeles. There were Toronto fans everyone starting the “Kawhi and Dine” movement.

[@harambe2099]

Alfredo Balboa that was the joke tho he left quietly

[@contato424]

@Alfredo Balboa I think he tried to keep it quiet, but if you are an NBA all-star and potential hall-of-famer, it’s difficult to keep it quiet

[@aidanreyes6854]

Best GOZ episode yet... they used Kobe’s cameo perfectly

[@cookiebetts6341]

10:08 There's a reference to the Nets' Slam Cover Issue made in the early 2000's. I actually have that magazine and if I remember, at the bottom it claimed the Nets were going to win a Championship soon, which obviously didn't happen

[@mrggrmrrggrr]

Vlade divac yelling “we don’t need luka!” As they head into battle

[@burmupro]

Yeah! 😆

[@briankehoe8]

1. Don’t you think AD holding up the cue cards was them making fun of LeBron and how contrived his “speaking from the heart” moment appeared (and in my opinion, was)? 2. They showed Shaq at the end. I think they were in some way referencing that he should’ve been on the Dream Team instead of Christian Laettner. What do you think?

[@rauffiey]

Hey man, here are some of the easter eggs you've missed! :) 10:03 In the scene where Kyrie leads his new team to New Jersey (Old Jersey) you’ll notice along the way, a painting of No. 44 - former Net Keith Van Horn. Next to it, you’ll see a painting of the starting lineup during the 2001-2002 season, inspired by the SLAM cover entitled, “THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD.” Just figured it would help! :)

[@harrybthyname_]

Also, a small Easter egg, but when in the tunnel, Carmelo says," What in 7 Hells is that?" Referencing his jersey number. Just caught it, but it's not as good as yours

[@dave_dynasty]

@@harrybthyname_ its 7 Ls and every player has said it through the show.

[@harrybthyname_]

@@dave_dynasty 7 Ls? Every player? Wow, ok, I'm sorry. If so, then you're right. Can I ask what it's referring to?

[@dave_dynasty]

@@harrybthyname_ you dont have to be sorry. 7 Ls is just their version of what the hell or something like that.

[@harrybthyname_]

@@dave_dynasty oh ok. Thanks, man. That was very helpful. Have a good night

[@41pa77]

The irony is that CP3 hit a game winner against Dallas with his jersey untucked. As a mavs fan, I was hella pissed

[@austingarrick9054]

Aroosh Kumar Because in that same game he called some on out for having there Jersey untucked and that is a technical foul

[@spaceduck9138]

You missed the reference bro. It refers a game aginst timberwolves where cp3 claimed a technical foul late game by pointing out Jordan bell who checked in the game with jersey untucked. They eventually won that game in OT cause of that.

[@darianvargas7624]

LaggedOut BTW you can have your jersey untucked you just can’t come onto the court with your jersey untucked.

[@41pa77]

@@darianvargas7624Im pretty sure that you can't play with your jersey untucked

[@spaceduck9138]

Bro if you check in untucked that's a delay of game....because you'll have to tuck it in midway so that's a violation

[@lanceezekiel872]

This channel too underrated

[@jethfilipino3641]

is no one gonna bring up that mullins, drexler, bird and magic johnson was not seen in the final battle...

[@nidzolinho8254]

Also David Robinson

[@Bryan.Hernandez]

Those same players wasn't shown in the first episode either. Why not if they're showing all of LeBron's team

[@jbug1979]

*Mullin

[@kennydrew6886]

They'll appear. You have to wait for the final episode.

[@tator1968]

7:05 its also a reference to GOT when Podrick sang Jenny of Oldstone

[@donultrawide]

Isn’t the melody of the song a reference to Ed Sheeran’s song in Season 7?

[@drewmalihan]

Dame's melody on the song is a reference on Ed Sheeran's song in GOT

[@MyKillyy]

You're all kinda right. The scene when they were all waiting for the battle, it was Podrick who sang "Jenny of Oldstone". But in this GoZ scene when Dame is singing, it's a reference to"Hands of Gold"

[@hailnijo7099]

6:51 is reference to the 'now I do what I want' ad with westbrook that conveniently dropped after KD left

[@rmzsonny]

I was waiting for this one as soon as game of zones episode 3 came out

[@alwaynegolding1461]

Facts 💯

[@rmzsonny]

Omg NAK liked my comment thanks g keep up the good work love your vids

[@cookiebetts6341]

1:30 The Statue of Ser Gary Payton also has a glove on his right hand, a reference to his nickname, "The Glove."

[@cookiebetts6341]

1:53 2 of the Pieces, Ser Jordan and The Brother of Splashes, Stephen Curry, have their own signature drawings. Jordan with his tongue out and Stephen with his mouthpiece hanging

[@randomcat5262]

Oh my goodness that Ray Allen prediction seems legit! That's why the Sonics are in this!

I hope Bleacher Report does a director’s commentary when GOZ is finished.

[@burmupro]

Jonathan Irish yeah, I'd like to know the 5% of the Easter eggs that were missed!

[@lhourdeanthony4237]

actually, to be honest, if GOZ didnt end early, there could have been a lot of interesting episodes. like, The Bubble, The Lakers, the Bucks championships Klay Thompson's return Kyrie and the COVID-19 vaccino-phobia The Markieff Morris attack on Nikola Jokic Brooklyn Nets getting swept by Boston among many others that could be interesting GOZ episodes... if....they did not finish the series early...

[@StudioMitesh]

Dude I was literally thinking Ray Allen because Seattle, Giannis praying and the clutch shot. Then a second later, he says Ray Allen!! I’m hype for the finale!!!!!

[@brandonmaverick6437]

'I have a dream' by Kyrie is a reference of him saying in an interview that Martin Luther king was criticized just like how he is

The universes smashed together is also a reference on the founding of the NBA, when the National Basketball League and Basketball Association of America merged to form the NBA in 1949

[@sadknicksfan1615]

The reason the sunkings called bagley Jarren Jackson jr is because In the sun king episode they had a banner saying king grizzlies
