One ESPN analyst feels that the decade-long rivalry between LeBron James and Stephen Curry is lacking something that great rivalries in the past had.

Steph Curry rivalry was an instant classic. Curry scored 38 points, including a game-tying 3, but Austin Reaves' last-second layup gave the Lakers a 115-113 win. LeBron James led LA with 31 points.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors put on a show on Christmas Day, and so did the other four NBA games. Unfortunately, the NFL did not have the same success, with both of their games being blowouts.

It turns out, that hardline stance was encouraged by NBA superstar LeBron James. Garrett, represented by Rich Paul's Klutch Sports Group, who also represents James, felt "emboldened to state last week that he might want out unless the Browns can show him a blueprint for winning in 2025," per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The NBA has long dominated Christmas, just as Thanksgiving has become synonymous with football, but viewers got the best of both worlds on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James had a message for the NFL as it continued to encroach on the NBA's day, which has been Christmas for years.
