Nick DePaula.

Little preview about what the Stars are rocking on court tomorrow.

Christmas Day is always one of the biggest days of the NBA schedule, but it's also one of the biggest days of the year for sneakers.

And this year we're gonna see all kinds of exciting sneakers worn around league on Christmas Day, starting with Jordan Brand last year, they look to refresh their roster of players, and they signed Zion Williamson, Luca, Don Check and Jason Tatum all at once.

All three of those guys were wearing the Air Jordan 35 this year, which has Jordan's new Eclipse Plate technology.

We're gonna see Luca Dantchev debut a new White Maps color way.

We're gonna see Jason Tatum clash a little bit with the classic Celtics colors.

He's gonna be celebrating his ST Louis Cardinals red hat that he always wears eso his Jordan, 35 is gonna have read all over.

And then Zion Williamson loves to celebrate the Bayou Boys, which is kind of the nicknames of all the young guns on the Pelicans team.

So he has an alligator crackles shoe this year for Steph Curry will be exciting because not only is he back on the court, but he's also got his new Currie brand launching this fall.

So he's gonna be wearing the Red and White create, which is gonna be the Chinese New Year color way, releasing in a couple weeks for Puma.

They're having a little fun this year.

They've got The White and Black, which is called the Ebony and Ivory Color way of the RS Dreamer, which is a collaboration with J.

Cole.

But then we're gonna see also one of everybody's favorite Christmas movies come to life with the Elf collaboration of the Puma All Clyde Pro.

We're also gonna see Kawhi Leonard lace up on Christmas Day in his first signature shoe with New Balance, the Kuai one.

When it comes to Nike, we're going to see guys like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Kyrie, Irving and Dion.

It's all in their latest signature shoes, but we're also going to see Paul George in the P G four, which takes on a fun red velvet color way, which plays off a Santa suit.

And then last but not least, I think everybody across the board would agree this is the best Christmas shoe of all time.

Nike is gonna be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Grinch Kobe six, that Kobe first debuted back in 2010.

So we're gonna see guys like Anthony Davis headlining these and probably a handful of players on every team across the league wearing the Grinch Kobe Sixes on Christmas Day for real time sneaker updates.

Let's go.

First up, First game on the slate pelicans heat.

Robert will start with you.

Who you got?

I got the heat.

You know, everybody's talking about the Nets.

They're talking about the Celtics.

You forgot these guys went to the finals.

They want some respect.

What better day to do it?

The Christmas Day?

My boy J.

Butler is gonna show out I'm ready for this game show.

I want to talk about Jimmy Butler.

You know why I'm not picking anybody because I'm calling this game and I don't want any of these teams fans all of my mentions talking about I suck and I can't call a game just because I picked the other team.

That's probably gonna happen anyway.

I know, but I want to give them ammo.

Give him ammo.

All right, so we'll leave that one.

Absolutely.

Right.

Next up.

Let's go with warriors.

Bucks, Milwaukee.

A double digit favorite in that one.

So, Richard, I don't know if I should ask who you got or by how much.

Well, this is the thing if Draymond playing, I really want to see Draymond.

I don't know how.

Well, he's not playing that.

I don't really see the warriors winning this game.

I'm going to say the bucks.

Ohh!

Look, the Warriors, You see, they need all hands on deck without clay.

They need Draymond.

They need all of these young players to kind of step up.

But I'm gonna go with the bucks.

I'm going with the bucks.

Also, I think you're honest is gonna come out and try to redeem himself After missing that tight, tight, tight, tight, free throw, he's gonna come out redeem itself.

And right now you're looking at Steph.

Steph needs some help.

I know why.

There's a young prospect and he's learning the game.

But Steph needs help, and I say bucks by 30.

Okay, then let's move on that Celtic Caesar's William Hill expects a close game.

The Nets Onley favored by three on the road.

Robert Who?

You got this one.

I'm going with the Nets.

I just think Katie is going to try to expand on what he did last game and show everybody he's back in a career is the second field, Which is wonderful to see because what second fiddle is as good as Carrie right now?

And this team is just on a roll, and I think they're gonna show some people around the league and put them on notice.

Yeah, look, it's it's all about health for the Nets is health and then chemistry.

Very similar with the Clippers, Uh, you know, kind of dealt with as long as they can stay together.

Look, you got two of America's Most Wanted in the same place at the same time.

They about to feel this, watch everything, everything that does, he said.

he wants to do this in every arena, provide good cleansing, spiritually energy.

He's already done it in Boston Garden.

Does he need to do it again on Christmas Day?

How does that work?

I don't know how this works and right, really, it's about whatever your pregame ritual in step telling.

But because you know the first time ever seen this done with Phil Jackson, Christmas Day he came in the locker room with the Lakers was like, Put this in front of everybody like we like is that we'd like What is that?

You know?

So you know Phil Jackson, the first person we won that game.

So who knows?

Yeah, see, so everybody's making a big deal about Kyrie.

The sage has been done before in one of the greatest coaches of all time.

Let's talk about the Mavericks because they've got a tough Christmas ticket.

The defending champion Lakers the marquee game tomorrow.

Richard, Are you taking the map?

Makers upset Lakers Lakers?

No, no, Look, Lucas must watch TV.

He's going to be one of the best players in this league for the best players in this league the next 10 years, but without prison Ghous, Anthony Davis.

They just didn't add any real firepower.

So I just think it's going to be a Laker show as long as they show up.

I think so.

I'm going with the Lakers also.

I think if you watch this team, the Lakers are still trying to figure out who they are.

They had, it's, um, four pieces that they really need.

And right now, if you watch Luca play, is Luca really in shape right now?

He doesn't look like he's in basketball shape.

His win is not there.

His body is a little fluffy, so I think that just body, yeah, he's not fat.

You're fluffy E.

It's like James Harden was a little fluffy.

You know, Yokich was a little fluffy last year, you know, some guys were fluffy body shaving on this show.

Yes, there is about the nightcap.

Closer Clippers visit the Nuggets in a playoff rematch.

Robert Richard is very excited about this game.

I want to know the Nuggets coming back down from 31 on the Clippers and the bubble.

How much grudge are we seeing in this grudge match?

Revenge, revenge, revenge?

I know it's not the same team that Mrs Some of the key guys that went over to the Lakers.

But I think right now, the way Paul George playing their first game, I was gonna be a carryover.

And plus, we talk about Paul George Points, But why?

I came out play with him addressing.

So I'm looking forward for these guys to go out and play hard.

And I'm not even gonna talk about your Baca what he was able to, So it's gonna be interesting.

Yeah.

I'm gonna say this.

I think the Clippers I love the Nuggets, but they're going to miss Jeremy Grant so much this year.

Trust me.

You're gonna see it over the course of the season.

Love, Porter, love all the time.

They have Jeremy Grant fit with them perfectly.

The energy, the hustle the defense could score without calling place for him.

So he's gonna be one of those guys that they're gonna be talking about missing him all year.

So I think that they're Denver is not going to be at the same tear that they have been.
