December 25th, the NBA Christmas games are particularly eye-catching.
This year's Christmas games feature two matchups, both highly anticipated.
Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat, and Portland Trail Blazers vs Los Angeles Lakers.
The Bulls currently sit at the top of the league, having achieved an unprecedented 72-win record in the 1996 season, and they continue to be unstoppable this season.
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat have assembled a roster comparable to the luxury lineups of the Lakers, Celtics, and 76ers in the 80s, with the trio of Olajuwon, Barkley, and Drexler, plus All-Star Tim Hardaway.
They continue to challenge the Bulls' dominance in the Eastern Conference, aiming to win another championship as the golden generation of '84 reaches its peak.
In the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers have long been rivals.
Since 1988, the Trail Blazers haven't participated in the Christmas games for many years.
