Oklahoma City Thunder - Vega

The Thunder were around for the 2011 Playoffs and while I don't remember any real reason for choosing Vega to represent them I do think that their logo/colors worked well on his mask. Ooh, I just thought of something. Vega is LIGHTNING quick. Lightning/Thunder. Yeah, that works! Oh, and that's obviously Durant behind the mask.
Denver Nuggets - Blanka

The Nugget's mountain logo fit too well into Blanka's chest hair not to combine the two. Also, Nene Hilario's hair kind of resembles Blanka's shaggy mane.
Utah Jazz - E. Honda

Utah's Al Jefferson is ranked #11 on the NBA's list of huskiest players. I personally don't see it but who am I to argue with the experts. Therefore the Jazz are represented by big-bellied E. Honda.
Portland Trailblazers - Gen

Gen is clearly an elderly man and the Trailblazers roster includes Kurt Thomas, the oldest active NBA player in the league. It's a cruddy reasons to match the two but Gen's battle stance is pretty badass so overall I believe it's a fair tradeoff.
Minnesota Timberwolves - Alex

Alex has a rugged, wolf-like quality about him and Michael Beasley's hair is just long enough to make it all work.
