How the Grinch Stole NBA Christma

Continuing an NBA tradition, the league's best teams will take the floor against one another on Christmas in an unparalleled display of brilliant, luminous star power. Oh, and the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers will play, too.

I know this is the time of year when we're supposed to be thankful, but unless you've got a warped sense of gratitude, it's hard to feel any appreciation for the way so many of the league's hype-fueled franchises have fallen flat.

Things were supposed to be different for the Knicks, Bulls, Nets and Lakers, and we were supposed to enjoy watching them do battle on the league's annual holiday showcase.

But a green-tinged, bitter, creepily terrifying cartoon character with a heart two sizes too small snatched up some of the NBA's best gifts. And no, I'm not describing Pierre the Pelican—although he comes frighteningly close to meeting those grotesque specifications.
