Nikome se ne igra, ali NBA je na Božić poseban
Njima je to bio motiv više
NBA liga i ove godine nudi pet utakmica 25. decembra. Igračima se ne sviđa duga tradicija igranja na Božić, ali to sponzore, vodstvo lige i navijače nimalo ne zanima.
Božić je poseban za sve u SAD-u, posebno one koji vole sport i košarku. Svake godine 25. decembra NBA liga pravi spektakl, a posljednjih godina to pripada Golden Stateu i Cleveland Cavaliersu.
To, naravno, nimalo ne čudi jer s jedne strane su Durant i Curry (doduše povrijeđen), a s druge LeBron James i Kevin Love.
NBA je započeo s tradicijom igranja na Božić još 1947. godine . New York Knicksi čestitali su Božić svojim navijačima pobjedom 89-75 protiv Providence Steamrollersa , ekipe koja će jedino po prvom Božićnom nastupu ostati upamćena u povijesti lige jer se već 1949. klub ugasio.
Zbog samog grada New Yorka, Knicksi su postali bitan klub u ligi, ali i kada su u pitanju mečevi za Božić, pa će tako i ove godine publika u Madison Square Gardenu uživati u sursetu Knicksa i Philadelphije 76ersa.
Po svemu sudeći, biće to dobra utakmica u kojoj će Kristops Porzingis pokušati da zaustavi Darija Šarića i društvo. Taj se duel igra od 18 sati, a od 23:30 Kyrie Irving će predvoditi Boston Celtcse u meču protiv Washingtona Wizardsa.
I onda u noći sa ponedjeljka na utorak još dva zanimljiva meča. Oklahoma protiv Houston Rocketsa, a okršaj Westbrooka i Hardena ne treba posebno najavljivati. Brada je ionako najviše nabrijan kada igra protiv “svojih”.
Za kraj ove božićne večeri rezervisan je okršaj Los Angeles Lakersa i Minnesote Timberwolvesa. Talentovani Lakersi protiv dobre ekipe Timberwolvesa. Ingram, Ball, Kuzma, Clarckson… protiv Townsa, Wigginsa i Butlera.
Zbog gledanosti NBA gleda da “poveže” dobre timove i za blagdane ponudi spektakularne mečeve.
Od Wilta Chamberlaina do LeBrona Jamesa
A ko su majstori koji su briljirali na Božić?
Davne 1961. godine Wilt Chamberlain je u 136:135 pobjedi Knicksa nad Philom ubacio 59 poena uz čak 36 skokova. Četiri godine kasnije Bill Russell je imao 19 poena i 34 skoka. Malo je nedostajalo da sruši Chamberlaina po broju skokova.
Ricky Barry je 1966. godine ubacio 50 poena u meču Cincinnati Royalsa i San Francisco Warriorsa (112:124), a te je godine bio na prosjeku od čak 35,6 poena po meču. Bernard King je protiv Netsa ubacio 60 poena 1984. godine.
Dominique Wilkins je ubacio 45 poena i devet skokova protiv Phiadelphije 76ersa u 106:100 pobjedi Atlanta Hawksa 1987. godine. Živio je, kažu, u sjeni Michaela Jordana.
Michael Jordan je 1992. godine u 89:77 pobjedi Chicago Bullsa nad New York Knicksima ubacio 42 poena, što je skoro polovina poena njkegovog tima, a imao je i osam skokova, pet asistencija i tri ukradene lopte.
Charles Barkley je 1993. godine u 111:91 trijumfu nad Houston Rocketsima imao 38 poena, 18 skokova i 4 asistencije. Scottie Pippen je ogdinu dana kasnije imao 18+36+5, a Chicago je sa 107:104 savladao New York Knickse.
Legendarni Tracy McGrady je za Orlando u 104:99 pobjedi nad Detroitom 2002. godine ubacio 46 poena uz šest skokova. U toj sezoni je imao prosjek od 32,1 poen, 6.5 skokova i 5.5 asistencija.
Godine 2006. Dwyane Wade je za Miami protiv Lakersa imao 40 poena, 11 asistencija, četiri blokade i četiir ukradene lopte. Očekivano, Miami je tada kao prvak bio nazustavljiv.
I konačno, 2010. godine je LeBron James imao 28 poena, 11 skokova, 10 asistencija u 96:80 pobjedi Miami Heata u gostima kod Lakersa u Los Angelesu. Tada su James, Wade i Bosh dominirali ligom.
