The Family: Versus Christmas Edition
22 December 2008
If everything you wished for isn’t under the tree for you on Christmas morning, don’t fret. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Paul Pierce and Caron Butler have got you covered on Christmas night. With the Lakers and Celtics squaring off in a rematch of last year’s finals, followed by the magic men of Washington paying a visit to LJ and crew in Cleveland, the night of the 25th is shaping up to be the ultimate holiday two-for-one special.
First up, a bi-coastal clash no amount of sugar cookies could sweeten up. Kobe and company are out to prove the basketball balance of power still resides on the west coast, while Pierce and his partners seek to re-affirm their league dominance and try to break their franchise record 18 game win streak. Tensions should run high on both sides of the ball, as both squads will be looking to light up the scoreboard no matter how Scrooge-worthy the defense gets.
Next up is a showdown that pits the boys from our nation’s capital against the best in the Midwest. Should be a festive night at the Q as LeBron and friends try to cast a spell of their own on the Wizards. Ranked #2 in the East, the Cavs are fighting to topple Washington and anyone else in the way of the NBA championship trophy. That includes #1 ranked Boston. But LeBron and company have to get through Caron Butler's non-stop offensive.
And as if these match-ups weren’t enough to get hoop-loving hearts pounding, Kobe will be unveiling his Zoom Kobe IV iD Christmas Edition while LeBron will debut The Six Chalk Edition for the holiday. How does the song go – it’s the most wonderful time of the year? In this case, wonderful is an understatement.
