NEW YORK — There's LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Golden State against Cleveland, for fans wanting more of the NBA's reigning rivalry.
For those preferring something new, the league's Christmas Day schedule has that, too.
It's a star-studded slate, with the NBA Finals rematch standing out among the top teams and power players.
The league is driven by star power, and the NBA is going all-in this year. The schedule is about the best players, not all the best teams.
And with Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Kristaps Porzingis starting the day, and Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Karl-Anthony Towns finishing it, this year's showcase is as much about the guys who got next on the marquee as the ones on top already.
