"Is [insert store] open on Christmas so that I can take advantage of this gift card?" ... No, it's not. But the NBA will be here alllll day long. And while the Knicks and Heat are mere prelude to much better action later in the day, seeing the Garden on Christmas conjures memories of the gold standard on December 25th.
Bernard King, with 60 points back in 1984. It doesn't get any better than that. You can read about King's conquest here, or listen to him reminisce over some grainy video here.
It's been 25 years, and nobody's topped 60 points on Christmas Day. With a great day of action ahead, it promises to be a fun afternoon, but will anyone top the King?
We'll be here all day, and starting around 3, we'll really get serious. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
