Podcast: Comparing Lakers villains to Marvel ones

Yesterday, as part of SB Nation’s “Marvel Week,” Anthony Irwin and Sabreena Merchant compared various members of the Lakers to their Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) counterparts. On Friday’s episode of “Can U Dig It?”, a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll, Christian Rivas and his normal co-host Jacob Rude continued the fun by finding which Marvel villains best match up with the Lakers’ own extensive rogues gallery.

As you can probably tell by the featured image above, at least one of our hosts compared Kawhi Leonard to Thanos, but the full list of villains from Lakers history includes (but is not limited to) Doc Rivers, Bill Russell, Danny Ainge, Kendrick Perkins, Paul George, Larry Bird, Paul Pierce, Jim Buss and Rajon Rondo.

Which villains from the MCU did our podcasting heroes compare them to? You’re just going to have to listen to find out.
