LeBron James wanted to provoke NFL fans with a short message?

The LA Lakers played a great match, and in a difficult final, they managed to defeat the Golden State Warriors with a score of 115-113. This match was special for many things, and the star of the evening was LeBron James, just like many times before. 

After the end of the match, the experienced basketball player reflected on the NBA and NFL matches during Christmas, stressing that Christmas is their day.

"I love the NFL, but Christmas is our day," James told ABC's broadcast team.

Sports fans in the US know very well what Christmas means to NBA fans, given the tradition they have had for years. In recent years, the NFL has decided to change its policy, placing an emphasis on Christmas and matches during that period. The NFL organized two games this year on Christmas, and it seems that the leaders of the NFL made the right move.

On the other hand, the NBA offered a spectacle to the fans this time as well, considering that the match between the Lakers and Warriors was tense until the end. Other NBA matches were equally exciting. 

The 39-year-old admitted that he doesn't know how long he will stay on the NBA scene.

“And for us, we don’t know how many times we’re going to be able to have this matchup, we don’t know how many times we’re going to be able to step on the floor,” said James. “But when we do, we try to give them - give [them] a game they deserve...”

What will be the reaction of the fans to LeBron James' statements?

With this statement, LeBron James once again showed how much passion he has for basketball and the NBA tradition. It will be interesting to see the reactions of NFL fans. What do you think, are they angry at these statements of LeBron?

Honestly, we doubt that NFL fans see his statement as something negative, aware that the NBA has a greater tradition and that the NBA has been doing things like this for years and years. NFL leaders, on the other hand, have a similar policy and want to attract even more attention from the audience. Judging by everything they have achieved, it is clear that they are doing well.
