The Lakers star will play again this Christmas, but he has asked for something special

LeBron James has made a Christmas wish, which has been a request to the NBA that they bring back the Christmas jerseys that existed briefly in the early 2010s.

Through its X account, the NBA shared a video that shows LeBron James with some Christmas jerseys that he wore a few years ago with the Cleveland Cavaliers, so the Lakers star revealed that he wants the league to release jerseys again special for the matches that are played at Christmas.

“This was awesome!!. I wish we still had Christmas Day uniforms across the league. I wonder why it stopped.,” LeBron James wrote on his X account.

The Lakers player has wondered why the NBA stopped making Christmas jerseys. However, the hiatus likely came as a result of the league focusing on broader initiatives such as the City Edition jerseys.

LeBron James comes into action on Christmas Day, when the Lakers play the Boston Celtics. The Los Angeles team recently snapped a four-game losing streak thanks to a 40-point performance from LeBron against the Oklahoma Thunder.

“We needed this win. We didn’t want to end the trip with a loss. Coming here to play a team that has been playing extremely well this season, it was a big win for us,” LeBron said after the game.

The Lakers are 16-14 and ranked ninth in the West.

LeBron James says he doesn’t mind playing against the Celtics on Christmas

​
Christmas Day is the most important day on the NBA calendar, since it is a tradition to see the league’s stars play and one of them is LeBron James, who will experience a game with a lot of history involved, as the Los Angeles Lakers They will host the Boston Celtics.

However, this historic rivalry is not so important to LeBron James, since he does not want to hear about Christmas Day and the Celtics because the only thing he cares about is that his daughter receives his gifts.

“I can give a damn about Monday. Only thing I care about Monday is my daughter waking up and opening her gifts.”

Christmas Day has always been special in the NBA, since there have been great games and even plays that have remained in the fans’ memories.
