In my opinion, nothing goes better together in conjunction with Christmas than basketball.
Who could forget all of those memorable Christmas Day games over the years featuring Bernard King scoring 60 points back in 1984, Patrick Ewing beating Michael Jordan and the Bulls with a last second shot in 1986, and of course the first showdown between former teammates Kobe and Shaq, following their feud in 2004.
In recent years, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and Lebron James have come up big in prime time on Christmas with the 2011-2012 “Lockout” season beginning the shortened season last year on Christmas.
With another 5 games on the slate for this year, featuring a rematch of the Heat and Thunder from the Finals last June, rest assured we can all be entertained by the Association while our relatives once again slog down the egg nog and argue over who made the best fruit cake.
So in the spirit of Christmas, this video from Ball Up Streetballer Ryan “Special FX” Williams with his special take on the 12 Days of Christmas is a must see heading into the December 25th holiday…
