The Christmas Day matchup featuring LeBron James and Stephen Curry drew 7.8 million viewers, marking it as the most-watched regular-season game in five years. Bill Simmons criticized the NBA's strategy of prioritizing this game over highlighting emerging stars such as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo, both of whom were left out of primetime despite their talent and better team records.
