Who’s the all-time Christmas Day main scorer?

Taking part in on Christmas Day has been an NBA custom so long as the league has been round, with the primary Christmas Day sport going down in 1947 when the New York Knicks defeated Windfall Steamrollers in Madison Sq. Backyard.

Since then, the NBA has had video games on Christmas in each single non-lockout 12 months.

Naturally, the league has all the time tried to place their greatest manufacturers and superstars on their Christmas Day slate of video games, and as such, the scoring leaders for video games which have taken place on the vacation is plagued by a few of the greatest names basketball has ever seen, led by LeBron James at No. 1.

Under, try the very best Christmas Day scorers in NBA historical past, together with Kobe BryantKevin DurantDwyane Wade and Shaquille O’Neal.
