LeBron James got it wrong: Christmas is NOT in the NBA

LeBron stars vs Warriors

LeBron was determined to stand by his words on December 25 as the Lakers took on, and beat, the Warriors to the score of 115-113 as the NBA legend dragged his team by the scruff of the next past Steph Curry.

Despite that representing an 84% increase from 2023, it was still absolutely smashed by the NFL. The two games showed on Xmas Day by Netflix averaged 24.1 million viewers, with Nielsen reporting a total of 65 million watched a minimum of 60 seconds.

The four-time MVP put up 31 points, 10 assists and four rebounds on the night as he continues to shrug off a slump of form, by his standards.

So as the USA’s two most popular sports clashed again on the birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth, the 39-year-old LeBron felt as though his own domain would emerge as king as he proudly declared, “Christmas is our day.”

The NBA received damning evidence of just how far behind the NFL the sport has fallen based on the TV ratings on Christmas Day, as football crushes basketball whilst fans turn on the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James.

A second added, “Maybe if LeBron play more and talk less them ratings would be different.”

Over the last three games, he has now produced 91 points, 27 assists and 22 rebounds.
