NBA Schedule Release: Ranking all 5 Christmas Day games from worst to first
By Alex Mcewen
The NBA’s most marquee day on the calendar is Christmas, and the NBA is serving up a spicy slate for the 2023-24 season.
Holiday traditions are legendary, and the NBA on Christmas Day has become a tradition itself. The New York Knickerbockers playing on Christmas is nearly as infamous as games simply being played on the holiday.
In years past, there have been gripes about how the Knicks did not possess a talented enough squad to be allotted a spot on the holiday slate. However, the Knicks have been rather respectable the past couple of seasons.
With my annual rant about the Knicks out of the way, let’s jump into ranking all five NBA Christmas Day contests, starting with you guessed it Bucks at Knicks.
5. Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks
The only reason this game is fifth is because the Knicks are the only team on the slated without a true superstar. Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo nearly bumped the game up a spot himself. With that said, due to the Bucks flaming out in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs by default, I am placing this game fifth.
