Uncertainty of LeBron’s future makes X-Mas matchup a gem for Boston Celtics

LeBron James‘ uncertain future in the NBA — between his son possibly going pro in a year, coupled with LBJ’s stated desire to play with Bronny wherever he gets drafted, and topped off by the flirtation the “king” had with retirement this offseason that practically everyone took with a grain of salt — make the rivalry game between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas day a gem for fans of all kind.
