That's right: James has been featured on the NBA's big day for longer than Wembanyama has been alive. And on Wednesday — when the league celebrates Christmas with games for the 77th time — the league's oldest player and brightest young star will be big parts of the holiday showcase.
It's another Christmas quintupleheader, with Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs visiting the New York Knicks, Minnesota going to Dallas for a Western Conference finals rematch, Philadelphia heading to Boston to renew a storied rivalry, James and the Los Angeles Lakers taking on Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and Denver playing at Phoenix in the nightcap.
«Very excited, of course,» Wembanyama said, the French star previewing his first Christmas game opportunity. «First of all, spending Christmas in New York, it's going to be like the movies, I hope. Get a little snow.»
His first Christmas wish came true: Light snow fell in Manhattan on Tuesday morning.
