In the latest issue of ESPN’s magazine hitting news stands today, Kobe Bryant and the NBA’s biggest stars are portrayed as Marvel’s super heroes. Just yesterday, we reported that Marvel was teaming up with Disney for Tron. This time, it’s Marvel and ESPN. Guess who owns both companies? That’s right Disney. It looks like Disney is really trying to market Marvel to everybody, including sports fans.
Here’s the cover by done by Joe Quesada. Sure, it looks good for the most part but the players don’t really their super hero alter ego. Kevin Durant should be Spider-Man instead of Thor because he’s very passive and his nickname is the “Durantula.” LeBron James isn’t even close to Captain America. He’s more like Spider Man’s villain, Mysterio: loves the attention but fails at the end. Kobe Bryant could be Tony Stark because he’s confident and talks a lot of smack, but he’s not an alcoholic though, not in public anyways.
Below is another another artwork. Everybody wants the RINGS!! Maybe this will lead the NBA to Lord Of The Rings characters…
