LeBron James might probably be on the verge of breaking Kobe Bryant’s record of securing most points on Christmas days. This is his 16th appearance on the Christmas day game against Brooklynn Nets. 

Ahead of his appearance on Christmas day, James recalled the best Xmas game he ever played against the Golden State Warriors. The superstar played for his home team Cleveland Cavaliers.

Both the teams came in the showdown with highly good form. The Warriors were in lead and were dominate in most of the game. The first three-quarters of the game showed warriors were surpassing the Cavaliers. 

However, Durant’s dominance got fused with Stephen Curry’s poor shooting of that day which gave an opening for the Cavaliers to make a comeback. Richard Jefferson’s dunk posturized Kevin Durant in the fourth quarter which gave some hope to the team that they can come back. Kyrie Irving’s last 25 points scored by him lead the Cavalier’s surpass the Warriors.

LeBron James even gave some of his best performances during that day which is 31 points and 13 rebounds. Kyrie Irving finished it off in style to reach the score of 109-108 which sealed the fate of Cleveland winning the game. 

“I think I’ve played…the best Christmas Day game ever. Us vs. Golden State in Cleveland”– said LeBron James during the press conference after Spurs game.  

How the things are different with both the teams today?

Today both the teams are very different, Golden State still has Stephen Curry, with Klay Thompson while LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are in different teams now. The rivalry between these two teams has been one of the biggest in the entire NBA history. Undoubtedly people will never forget their rivalry between these two teams in the future as well. 

King James has still a lot of moves left in his arsenal and continues to carry his team despite performing poorly in the recent games.
