LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are scheduled to face off against the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times. The Lakers have played every year on Christmas Day since 1998.
The draw here is obviously seeing James against the Warriors, who his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, saw in the NBA Finals for four consecutive years and lost all but one time in 2016. However, the past few games between the Lakers and the Warriors have been entertaining on their own in recent years, even before adding James.
