It's somewhat of an honor to be playing on Christmas Day in the NBA. The media will pick high market teams usually. This year had all good matchups... Bulls/Knicks, Heat/Lakers, Celtics/Magic and Nuggets/Thunder. If you get picked to play on Christmas, it means you're on a good team basically. However, a lot of players have voiced their opinions about playing on such an important family holiday. We've heard from LeBron James and Kyle Korver on this. It's understandable because people want to be with their families for the holiday. But I think that's the price of being an NBA player. YYou're paid millions of dollars to entertain. So they should play on holidays because that's what they make the big bucks for.
The Bulls have had it tough though. They played on Thanksgiving, Christmas and will also play on New Year's.
