The 5 Best NBA Christmas Day Performances
1. Bernard King, New York Knicks (1984)
It takes looking back some 22 years ago, but the best Christmas day game lies with Bernard King. In his eighth year in the league, King and his New York Knicks met up with the then-New Jersey Nets in a holiday clash. In it, King scored a ridiculous 60 points in just 41 minutes.
In a losing effort, the Knicks' star hit on 19 of 30 shots in addition to 22 of 26 attempts from the charity stripe. He accounted for seven rebounds and four assists, computing to a Game Score of 44.9 when all was said and done.
