What are some of your holiday traditions? One tradition that my family and I had when I was growing up was that we would watch some of the premiere games in the NBA during the holidays. After opening up our Christmas gifts and eating a nice brunch we would sit down and watch the best of the best in the NBA play against each other.

Sports was and is still a huge part in my life. I am loving the fact that the NBA is continuing their own tradition of showcasing some of the great matchups on Christmas.

Check out the NBA’s latest video called The Gift of Basketball. The video highlights unforgettable NBA moments that get fans in the holiday spirit and bring us all together for the excitement of five marquee games on Christmas Day.

 So while you and the family are hanging out around the house why not start up a new tradition or keep up the tradition from years past by checking out some of the greatest match-ups that the NBA has to offer this season.
