LeBron James Has Blunt Words For NFL After Lakers-Warriors Christmas Day Thriller
HuffPost
The Los Angeles Lakers star had a message for the NFL as it pushes to schedule games on a holiday that's seen NBA contests for decades.
LeBron James on Wednesday unwrapped a message for the NFL as the league continues its push to schedule games on Christmas Day, a holiday that sports fans typically associate with NBA games.
“I love the NFL, I love the NFL but Christmas is our day,” James told ESPN’s Lisa Salters as he pointed to the court then darted to the locker room after the Los Angeles Lakers’ thrilling 115-113 win over the Golden State Warriors.
The NFL, which has played a game on Christmas Day since 2020, struck a deal with Netflix this year for the streaming giant to exclusively broadcast at least one of its contests on the holiday through 2026.
Netflix reportedly paid roughly $150 million (about $75 a game) to the NFL to air this year’s doubleheader, which included a pre-taped, pregame performance of Mariah Carey singing “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and Beyoncé’s halftime show during the Baltimore Ravens’ dominant win over the Houston Texans.
The NBA has played its games on Christmas Day since the league’s second season in 1947 and at least one contest has featured the defending NBA champions since 1995.
