Is It Christmas Day or NBA Day?

I myself, honestly, am excited to watch Kobe and D.Rose play basketball on TV this Christmas day. But I must wonder “Is that what Christmas has come down to now?”
As we forget about what Christmas day is all about we’ll be looking for anything to capture our bored minds. On Christmas day we’re bored from the scene of family gathering(if not family drama), playing video games, or playing with a newly purchased gadget.
We must remember why Christ came down to earth on Christmas day. Or at least think about that reason on this Christmas day before we grab a TV remote.

What has five heads, wears short pants and is a danger to your family? If you answered AC/DC, you would have been right, in 1980. But in 2011, the correct answer appears to be the NBA’s Christmas Day quintuple-header, five games from noon through midnight that few parents will relish playing in or coaching in or broadcasting.

Last year, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy memorably said: “I think the NBA is so important to Christmas that we really need to increase from five games to 10, and we need to start them at midnight on Christmas Eve and play them all through the day so there’s not a minute of Christmas Day when there’s not an NBA game on TV. Because it’s great. The NBA is Christmas … It’s what it’s all about.”
