The NBA put on quite the show on Christmas Day with several exciting finishes to keep fans interested on the holiday.

Fans were also treated to an ABC special titled “NBA OGs Convo” featuring the trio of LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.

The special was created to celebrate the legacies of the three all-time greats, and while basketball fans were excited by what they saw, fans of other sports also weighed in.

After the NBA’s Instagram account posted a picture from the special, soccer fans let it be known they weren’t all that impressed.

“They can’t even crack 1M likes…They could never have the streets like footy,” wrote one fan.

“Basketball is just America. And they call it the world champion,” wrote another fan.

Another wrote: “I like both sports but I ain’t trying to watch an NBA game where both teams shoot 50 3’s each every game…I will gladly watch football over basketball,” added another.

NBA fans stick up for the league

It didn’t take long for basketball fans to hit back and defend their league.

“These guys are so insecure about American sports,” wrote one fan.

Another added: “NBA generates more money than soccer who cares about instagram likes.”

A third wrote: “Tbh Steph clears Messi and Ronny.”

Regardless of the argument in the comments section, the NBA saw strong viewership numbers for its Christmas Day schedule.

The game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors averaged 7.76 million viewers, with the entire five-game slate averaging 5.25 million viewers.

“I wish there were more of our great players who had a chance to play on that stage on Christmas Day,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said shortly before Christmas. 

“It’s been an interesting turnaround from certainly my earlier days in the league when we got a lot of complaints about playing on Christmas – and now it comes the other way, which is, ‘Why aren’t we playing on Christmas?'”
