The Christmas Day Games were exciting as ever could be with the ten NBA Teams; three Eastern and seven Western Conference Teams. I still wondered though what went into the decision making process of selecting the Teams to play. Both the two top Teams from the East (Cleveland Cavaliers) and West (Oklahoma City Thunders) Conferences were left out. So was Milwaukee Bucks, the Emirates Cup winner.

Nonetheless, it was a great entertainment.

Sadly, the Golden State Warriors lost at the last minute to the Los Angeles Lakers.

I appreciate that the players left their families on Christmas Day to play, and entertain their fans. Yes, some might say that it’s a part of their work or contract, or that’s why they are paid the big bucks. True. But, I’m sure that they could have negotiated and opted to spend the day with their families. I wonder what it would be like not spending those days with their loved ones especially if they and family believe in the spirit of the season. Well, maybe, they don’t …

Basketball OGs?

Anyhow, I share the above link. Click on it to read and watch the video which must have been recorded during the Olympics Games in France earlier this year. It’s interesting to listen to the admirations the three have for each other in their fifty-five years combined; LBJ – 22, KD – 17, and Steph – 16. And each still brings his A+ game to the court. Are they ready to retire yet? I wish the reporter asked that question. But, no, at least not yet though rumors are being spread about LBJ and Curry. We’ll see.

I hope you enjoy reading and watching the video.

I also hoped that your Christmas Day was merry indeed.
