Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has reminded the NFL that December 25, which is Christmas Day across the globe, is still owned by basketball after his team won against the Golden State Warriors 115–113.
The NFL has a tradition of fixing multiple matches on Christmas Day for four consecutive years; the NBA is also shifting ground on these classical performances on the holiday.
The Los Angeles Lakers player who is a lifelong supporter of the NFL and a former player of high school football was spectacular during the game as he provided 10 assists, contributed 31 points, and gave his all, earning his team the Christmas win.
Austin Reaves was the man of the game as he stole the spotlight. He also gave a great triple-double performance with 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and he contributed 26 points. Reaves gently sank two clutch throws with 8.2 seconds remaining in the final moment of the match, and his contribution helped the Lakers to defeat the Warriors with a game-winning layup as time expired.
LeBron James’s message to the NFL speaks of the NBA’s constant game-fixing on Christmas Day, which shows that despite the NFL making Christmas games a culture, the NBA still continues to steal the spotlight on Christmas Day.
