NBA Christmas Day Clash Announced…
The NBA is gearing up for festivities as the Los Angeles Lakers prepare for training camp in a single leap short of a Han Solo hyperjump. They’ve bolstered their squad by adding giants like Deandre Ayton, Marcus Smart, and Jake LaRavia while Dorian Finney-Smith has taken a U-turn to the Houston Rockets in free agency. Finney-Smith’s departure was so heated, it made the sun look like a kitchen night lamp. He will get his chance to return with a flamethrower when the Rockets face off against the Lakers this Christmas. But return he will, to the acclaim or perhaps the boos of his former fans with the eyes of the nation glued to their screens.
There’s even more glitter sprinkled on this matchup with LeBron James having his fifth Christmas showdown against the Rockets’ new jewel, Kevin Durant. Imagine two seasoned magicians, who conjure basketball spells from thin air, still enchanting audiences at the grand age of 539 combined. The West is so stacked it’s threatening to tip the continent into the ocean! With eight Western teams playing, they swallowed the Christmas cheer right out from under the Eastern teams’ trees. Teams like the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks are left watching from afar, their stockings empty, pondering Santa’s choice of going West this year. As they prepare to step onto the court, LeBron can’t help but throw a hearty nod to Durant’s unreal scoring magic, acknowledging that KD’s shot efficiency is as rare and priceless as finding a Wi-Fi signal on a deserted island.
