MADRID, 24 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
This December 25, Christmas Day, the NBA will celebrate its traditional ‘Christmas Day’, one of the symbolic dates for the American league in which there will be five games (Knicks-Sixers, Mavericks-Lakers, Warriors-Grizzlies, Celtics-Bucks and Nuggets-Suns). We leave you some of the data to take into account.
1. LeBron James. The Los Angeles Lakers forward will tie with Kobe Bryant and will become, with 17 appearances, the player with the most appearances on this Christmas day. Also, with 422, he is the leading scorer on this day.
2.New York Knicks. No one has played as many games in the NBA on December 25 as the New York franchise, which this Sunday will play against the Philadelphia 76ers on 55. In addition, these two teams will meet for the thirteenth time on this day, another league record.
3. Bernard King. This player has the best scoring mark on Christmas Day in the NBA with the 60 points he scored with the Knicks against the Nets in 1984.
4. Los Angeles Lakers. The award-winning Los Angeles franchise will be part of the Christmas menu for the twenty-fourth consecutive time, a league record as its number of victories stands at 24 and that it hopes to extend against the Dallas Mavericks.
5. Aldama and the Grizzlies. The Canarian player will participate in this symbolic day together with his franchise, which will also play for the first time on December 25, against the Golden State Warriors, which means that for the fifteenth straight season the winner of the ring plays on this date.
6. Celtics and Bucks meet again. The best two in the Eastern Conference this season will be the only ones to repeat their confrontation on December 25. Last year, Milwaukee rallied from 19 points to win 117-113.
