I think that it would be a lot more acceptable and fair if ALL the teams played on a rotating basis. Twelve consecutive years is a bit much. If the NBA scheduled only three games on Christmas then each team would play every five years, something that most would be able to swallow......GO LAKERS!!!!!!

It could be voted upon by players and owners. See what they collectively want.

there was a time that players were chastised for the amount of money they made and their reply was "we're entertainers." well, i want to be entertained on christmas day. let the games begin, earn your money, shut your mouthes, just bounce the ball and take your fat paychecks to the bank!

Contrary to the rantings of the far right, this is not a "Christian" nation. If we can have sports on Thanksgiving, July 4, January 1, President's Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, and holidays celebrated by other faiths, why not Christmas.
