1
00:00:06,965 --> 00:00:09,525
{\an8}Bronny James has been
fully cleared to play basketball
2
00:00:09,551 --> 00:00:11,970
{\an8}following his medical emergency
back in July.
3
00:00:12,053 --> 00:00:14,764
Bronny, again, is the son
of NBA legend LeBron James.
4
00:00:16,641 --> 00:00:20,603
You know, you never, ever,
in all the shit that you think about
5
00:00:21,229 --> 00:00:25,400
that can happen wrong throughout life,
or whatever the case may be,
6
00:00:25,483 --> 00:00:29,112
{\an8}you never ever think about your kids.
7
00:00:30,447 --> 00:00:32,073
{\an8}It's just they're kids.
8
00:00:32,157 --> 00:00:34,909
{\an8}You don't ever think about anything
happening bad to your kids.
9
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:37,620
You're like, "I protect the kids.
They're protected."
10
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,497
They're young, great health.
11
00:00:39,581 --> 00:00:43,084
You know, if anything is gonna happen,
it's gonna be us, our friends, or it's...
12
00:00:43,168 --> 00:00:45,462
You know, you don't never
think about your fucking kids.
13
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:48,757
And when something traumatic
like that happens, it's like,
14
00:00:50,383 --> 00:00:52,802
"Oh shit,
things need to put in perspective."
15
00:00:53,678 --> 00:00:57,057
♪ I'm trying my best ♪
16
00:01:06,274 --> 00:01:07,275
Pass.
17
00:01:10,236 --> 00:01:11,821
Hit it, hit it, hit it!
18
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:15,908
I see him!
19
00:01:21,998 --> 00:01:25,794
{\an8}I just kind of got a video
in my head of, you know,
20
00:01:25,877 --> 00:01:27,837
{\an8}seemed like it was yesterday,
21
00:01:28,338 --> 00:01:30,548
{\an8}remembering him being three years old.
22
00:01:30,632 --> 00:01:33,760
{\an8}And every time he shoots, he scores,
and LeBron is, like, "He's special."
23
00:01:33,843 --> 00:01:36,387
{\an8}I said, "This boy is three years old."
24
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:40,517
{\an8}And what's Dad got to say?
"That's my boy."
25
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:45,230
It was a hard-ass few months.
26
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:51,319
Watching our son go through the things
that he were going through personally,
27
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,824
I mean, it affected
all of us, um, in our household.
28
00:01:56,574 --> 00:01:59,953
Like, when you say,
"Family over everything," um,
29
00:02:00,745 --> 00:02:04,040
it's like tomorrow isn't promised.
30
00:02:06,334 --> 00:02:08,962
Shorty! Air ball!
31
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:12,757
You know, we almost lost Bronny
in the summertime.
32
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:17,846
He was training at practice at USC,
33
00:02:18,847 --> 00:02:21,975
and, um, our son had, um,
34
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:23,852
a cardiac arrest.
35
00:02:23,935 --> 00:02:28,565
{\an8}Bronny James, who is going
to be a freshman basketball player at USC,
36
00:02:28,648 --> 00:02:30,275
{\an8}suffered cardiac arrest.
37
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:33,796
The high school All-American
was rushed to the hospital
38
00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:35,071
and admitted to the ICU.
39
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:37,657
We certainly wish
young James a speedy recovery.
40
00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:39,701
Bronny
is recovering this morning
41
00:02:39,784 --> 00:02:41,995
after suffering cardiac arrest.
42
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:44,831
It was tough.
43
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:49,836
I think that we processed it differently.
44
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:51,879
Um...
45
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:01,222
I think,
at the end of the day,
46
00:03:01,723 --> 00:03:04,767
it was just about us supporting each other
47
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:08,188
and just being super grateful
for the outcome.
48
00:03:11,316 --> 00:03:13,818
Shout-out to the man above. One.
49
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:18,323
To the whole coaching staff,
training staff.
50
00:03:18,406 --> 00:03:21,075
- You too.
- Members of that program.
51
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,579
- Thank you so much. Lifesaver, literally.
- Of course.
52
00:03:24,662 --> 00:03:26,998
{\an8}Literally. She, uh...
This is Bronny's grandmother.
53
00:03:27,081 --> 00:03:28,458
{\an8}- Hi! I'm Erin.
- Hi.
54
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:32,712
{\an8}- Erin performed CPR on Bronny.
- Nice to meet you. Thank you so much.
55
00:03:32,795 --> 00:03:34,464
They are the reason
56
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:40,970
Bronny is alive now and smiling
and thriving and doing
57
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:44,891
what any 19-year-old should be doing,
and that's living out their dream.
58
00:03:47,101 --> 00:03:48,394
It's... it's crazy with kids.
59
00:03:48,478 --> 00:03:51,773
Like, when they love and want something
that's all that matters to them.
60
00:03:52,273 --> 00:03:54,359
As a parent, you're like, you know,
61
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:56,778
"You had a cardiac arrest." Like...
62
00:03:57,695 --> 00:03:59,155
In his mind, he's like,
63
00:04:00,531 --> 00:04:02,825
"Can I or can I not play ball again?"
64
00:04:03,826 --> 00:04:05,495
And if the answer is yes,
65
00:04:05,578 --> 00:04:07,497
"When can I play ball again?"
66
00:04:08,498 --> 00:04:09,498
Like,
67
00:04:10,124 --> 00:04:11,209
I love that.
68
00:04:11,292 --> 00:04:15,838
♪ Man, am I the greatest... ♪
69
00:04:18,216 --> 00:04:22,387
Bronny's the first person in my family
70
00:04:22,887 --> 00:04:23,972
to go to college.
71
00:04:24,555 --> 00:04:27,558
I don't... Nobody in my family
ever went to college.
72
00:04:27,642 --> 00:04:29,352
And to see my son
73
00:04:29,435 --> 00:04:32,689
playing the game that he loves
at the collegiate level,
74
00:04:33,564 --> 00:04:35,525
but to see where he is as a young man...
75
00:04:37,694 --> 00:04:39,696
you're like, "Wow, it could have been...
76
00:04:40,947 --> 00:04:43,992
you know,
so much more worse for our family."
77
00:04:45,118 --> 00:04:46,878
...the visiting
Long Beach State.
78
00:04:46,911 --> 00:04:47,745
Hey, LeBron!
79
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:52,834
Say hello to the home team,
your University of Southern California
80
00:04:52,917 --> 00:04:56,129
Trojans!
81
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:01,676
It was insane. I mean,
82
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,304
when he entered
the game for the first time,
83
00:05:04,387 --> 00:05:05,972
the... the crowd went crazy.
84
00:05:07,056 --> 00:05:10,685
And for the first time
this season,
85
00:05:10,768 --> 00:05:13,396
four months
after suffering cardiac arrest,
86
00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:16,691
Bronny James makes his collegiate debut.
87
00:05:17,608 --> 00:05:19,152
Just being there as a parent,
88
00:05:19,235 --> 00:05:21,237
to know what he's been through
89
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:23,656
and to see him get back on the floor,
90
00:05:24,157 --> 00:05:26,159
I know he had to be nervous as hell
91
00:05:26,659 --> 00:05:28,244
'cause I was nervous as hell.
92
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:30,747
Pass! The pass!
93
00:05:34,876 --> 00:05:39,380
There were a lot of butterflies,
but that is to be expected.
94
00:05:39,464 --> 00:05:42,258
{\an8}Every game,
it pretty much feels the same way.
95
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,261
Ellis... Bronny, three.
96
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:46,721
Got it to go!
97
00:05:46,804 --> 00:05:49,807
Bronny James, his first college bucket!
98
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:52,435
How good does that have to feel?
99
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:54,918
It felt good knowing
that they went out of their way
100
00:05:54,979 --> 00:05:56,356
to come see my game.
101
00:05:56,439 --> 00:06:00,318
Knowing that they're always there for me
is... is a really special feeling.
102
00:06:00,401 --> 00:06:05,448
LeBron videoing his son
playing his first college hoops game.
103
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:07,700
Special moment for the James family.
104
00:06:09,619 --> 00:06:10,619
Ah.
105
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:13,706
It's like
a family signature play.
106
00:06:14,791 --> 00:06:15,792
"Blocked by James."
107
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:18,103
Curry back to Iguodala,
up for the layup!
108
00:06:18,127 --> 00:06:19,712
Oh! Blocked by James!
109
00:06:19,796 --> 00:06:23,299
How many times have we
seen LeBron James chase down a play?
110
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:24,759
There you go.
111
00:06:24,842 --> 00:06:26,402
People ask me about the block,
112
00:06:26,427 --> 00:06:29,222
and, you know,
that first three that he made,
113
00:06:29,305 --> 00:06:32,016
and some of the assists,
a couple of steals that he had,
114
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:35,186
but, like, every minute he ran,
115
00:06:35,269 --> 00:06:38,231
every minute he jumped,
took a bump to his chest...
116
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:40,733
It's just a lot of nerves for sure.
117
00:06:40,817 --> 00:06:44,320
For me, the best play of the whole game
118
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:48,908
is when the game ended,
and he walked off on his own
119
00:06:49,409 --> 00:06:50,535
in his own power.
120
00:06:53,621 --> 00:06:55,331
That's today's game...
121
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:57,250
To see your kid
being able to thrive
122
00:06:57,333 --> 00:06:59,794
and being able to live out his dream
is one thing.
123
00:07:00,753 --> 00:07:02,380
But to see your kid go through adversity
124
00:07:02,463 --> 00:07:04,465
and be able to overcome adversity
is another.
125
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:06,717
Because you gotta imagine, like,
126
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:09,095
the last time
he was on the basketball floor
127
00:07:09,178 --> 00:07:10,596
doing anything live,
128
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:12,097
um,
129
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,393
he was taken out on a gurney
going to the hospital.
130
00:07:31,784 --> 00:07:34,912
Biggest area of change was
131
00:07:34,996 --> 00:07:37,832
we always tell each other
we love each other,
132
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:40,626
we always give hugs and kisses,
but I think that
133
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:44,547
coming out of that,
that meant so much more.
134
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:47,049
And it... just the intentionality of it.
135
00:07:47,133 --> 00:07:50,887
Like, when I say it, like, I... I mean it.
136
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:52,472
I need you to feel me.
137
00:07:52,555 --> 00:07:55,057
When I give you a hug,
I hold on a little tighter.
138
00:07:55,892 --> 00:08:00,104
As a father,
I think it changed me in the sense of
139
00:08:00,188 --> 00:08:01,898
basketball doesn't matter.
140
00:08:03,232 --> 00:08:04,525
Money doesn't matter.
141
00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:06,944
Access doesn't matter.
142
00:08:07,570 --> 00:08:10,948
Nothing fucking matters besides family.
143
00:08:14,285 --> 00:08:16,245
Nothing matters besides family,
144
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:20,458
so that's... that's what changed.
145
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:39,936
{\an8}The Celtics have
the best record in the NBA.
146
00:08:40,436 --> 00:08:42,897
They're almost unbeatable at home.
147
00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:44,815
They have made the most threes.
148
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:46,984
They have the best rebounding team
in the league,
149
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:50,947
and they have
the number one net rating on offense.
150
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:53,407
They don't do
a lot of things poorly.
151
00:08:56,327 --> 00:08:57,620
{\an8}Wait. Come over here.
152
00:08:57,703 --> 00:08:59,747
{\an8}The youngest player goes first.
Draw a card.
153
00:08:59,830 --> 00:09:01,290
Who's the youngest player?
154
00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:02,291
No.
155
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:03,459
- Yes.
- I am.
156
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:05,753
- No, I'm the youngest!
- No.
157
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:08,297
I'm yellow.
158
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:09,882
{\an8}Is this you, Daddy?
159
00:09:10,424 --> 00:09:13,135
{\an8}- Which one you wanna be?
- I'm red.
160
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:14,887
Okay, well, Daddy can be blue.
161
00:09:14,971 --> 00:09:17,533
- This year, I play on Christmas.
- That card here.
162
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,809
- I'm gonna beat you!
- Stop trying to hold it.
163
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:22,412
- Christmas Day is special.
- We'll leave Daddy.
164
00:09:22,436 --> 00:09:26,482
{\an8}This is my seventh year in the NBA, and
I've played on Christmas every single day.
165
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:28,946
{\an8}Merry Christmas.
Appreciate the time.
166
00:09:28,985 --> 00:09:30,065
{\an8}Merry Christmas to you too.
167
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:32,738
{\an8}- Merry Christmas to you, Deuce.
- Yo, come on.
168
00:09:34,323 --> 00:09:35,241
Daddy!
169
00:09:36,659 --> 00:09:39,328
Playing on Christmas
means that your team is relevant.
170
00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:41,414
That people wanna watch you.
171
00:09:41,497 --> 00:09:45,293
{\an8}'Cause the NBA, that's the first thing
they release, who's playing on Christmas.
172
00:09:45,376 --> 00:09:46,752
{\an8}Ho ho!
173
00:09:53,718 --> 00:09:55,428
{\an8}Yo, yo, yo, yo! Come on!
174
00:09:55,511 --> 00:09:59,599
{\an8}We look forward to the
matchups, who's the face of the league.
175
00:10:02,226 --> 00:10:03,769
{\an8}Woo-hoo!
176
00:10:06,355 --> 00:10:09,817
{\an8}Usually it's a Finals rematch,
but the NBA didn't do that this year.
177
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:11,861
They had Lakers-Celtics
on Christmas day in LA.
178
00:10:13,738 --> 00:10:15,948
It's always fun
when the Lakers play the Celtics.
179
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,451
It's the two teams who have 17 titles.
180
00:10:18,534 --> 00:10:20,286
It's the two most storied teams.
181
00:10:20,369 --> 00:10:22,955
This is a marquee matchup.
182
00:10:23,831 --> 00:10:28,169
Boston-LA. You know, it's...
Nothing needs to be said more than that.
183
00:10:29,003 --> 00:10:32,214
Kobe Bryant was part
of my Christmas Day as a kid.
184
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:35,551
That's what you did. You hang out
with your family, open presents, eat,
185
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,136
and watch basketball all day.
186
00:10:37,219 --> 00:10:39,764
It's Christmas.
Come on. It's December 25th.
187
00:10:40,681 --> 00:10:42,767
- As the two...
- Celtics vs. Lakers.
188
00:10:42,850 --> 00:10:44,226
All the history and tradition
189
00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:46,979
between the two most winningest franchises
190
00:10:47,063 --> 00:10:48,356
on Christmas Day.
191
00:10:48,439 --> 00:10:49,732
Uh, prime-time game.
192
00:10:49,815 --> 00:10:52,443
It's like, man, it really don't get
any much better than that.
193
00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:01,803
It's hard to, you know,
have Christmas traditions.
194
00:11:01,827 --> 00:11:03,329
We travel so much.
195
00:11:03,412 --> 00:11:08,084
This is... maybe my third year
playing on the road on Christmas.
196
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:10,336
This is my room.
197
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:14,131
And sometimes I put stuff in here.
198
00:11:15,049 --> 00:11:16,509
Deuce, he understands.
199
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:18,511
He makes jokes about it.
200
00:11:18,594 --> 00:11:23,766
"Oh, I know, you gotta go play basketball
so you can buy me all these nice things."
201
00:11:23,849 --> 00:11:26,268
I send postcards home every road trip.
202
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:31,190
And every one has a note behind it.
203
00:11:31,273 --> 00:11:32,983
Let him know where I'm at.
204
00:11:33,067 --> 00:11:34,902
I have there. There. There.
205
00:11:34,985 --> 00:11:38,656
There. There. There. There. There.
There. There. There. There. There. There.
206
00:11:38,739 --> 00:11:42,034
We have, like,
this NBA map in his room.
207
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:45,830
Every time he goes to places, I think,
208
00:11:45,913 --> 00:11:49,500
he gives me those cards,
and I hang them up.
209
00:11:50,251 --> 00:11:54,755
So, I sit right here,
210
00:11:54,839 --> 00:11:57,967
and my dad sits right here.
211
00:11:58,050 --> 00:12:01,637
He'll be able to come
to the game on Christmas, so, um
212
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:03,264
very, very excited about that.
213
00:12:03,347 --> 00:12:07,393
If you see that green line right there...
214
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:09,895
- Do you see that?
- Mm-hmm.
215
00:12:09,979 --> 00:12:13,566

Another opportunity here,
Tatum driven off the line,
235
00:13:49,787 --> 00:13:51,580
attacks the rack, hangs, and hits.
236

my rookie year.

00:14:32,621 --> 00:14:36,584
{\an8}Adams and Towns for the tip.
Nick Buchert throws the ball in the air.
242
00:14:36,667 --> 00:14:39,420
{\an8}Happy to be with you
on this Christmas holiday.
243
00:14:39,503 --> 00:14:41,505
{\an8}We were blessed with the Christmas game.
244
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:44,300
{\an8}And it was definitely a great experience
to go through that.
245
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:46,927
Here is Sabonis,
all the way to the rim!
246
00:14:47,011 --> 00:14:48,637
Plus the foul!
247
00:14:49,513 --> 00:14:52,474
How about that
for the rookie out of Gonzaga?
248
00:14:52,558 --> 00:14:55,102
You know,
but that was my one experience.
249
00:14:55,936 --> 00:14:59,064
Him playing on a holiday,
that's super important for him.
250
00:14:59,148 --> 00:15:02,610
He, like, had Christmas games
when he was on OKC.
251
00:15:03,861 --> 00:15:05,195
But not this season.
252
00:15:05,696 --> 00:15:09,617
He doesn't get seen for everything
he's doing, which is hard for me.
253
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,780
{\an8}It's almost expected, but, like, it's not,
because then nobody pays attention.
254
00:15:12,828 --> 00:15:15,039
{\an8}And I get it.
It's like "small market team." But is it?
255
00:15:15,122 --> 00:15:16,957
Is it? Because he is so fucking good.
256
00:15:17,041 --> 00:15:19,335
Sorry, I shouldn't curse.
Let me take that back.
257
00:15:21,503 --> 00:15:24,383
Let's build the tent.
It's right there. Wanna unbox it for me?
258
00:15:25,674 --> 00:15:28,344
I got him, like,
a sleeping bag and a tent.
259
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:29,803
What is this? This is B.
260
00:15:30,304 --> 00:15:32,014
- A and A1.
- Okay. And A1
261
00:15:33,140 --> 00:15:34,433
If we survive this...
262
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:36,351
That sound good?
263
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:42,024
He's so good, and he's
constantly breaking world records.
264
00:15:42,107 --> 00:15:44,652
Like, every day, on the bottom
of the screen when I'm watching,
265
00:15:44,735 --> 00:15:46,612
it's like,
"He broke this, and he broke that."
266
00:15:46,695 --> 00:15:48,197
And I'm like, "See? He's amazing."
267
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,282
No,
I think that this was great.
268
00:15:50,366 --> 00:15:52,451
Sometimes,
I'm very frustrated about it.
269
00:15:54,536 --> 00:15:57,498
But that's why
I definitely try to make our lives
270
00:15:57,581 --> 00:15:59,083
as special as possible.
271
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:01,794
Oh my goodness.
It's, like, actually magical.
272
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:03,754
And when it comes to the holidays,
273
00:16:03,837 --> 00:16:07,049
I just want everything to kind of feel
festive and fun and special.
274
00:16:07,758 --> 00:16:09,426
Tigey, where's Minnie?
275
00:16:10,177 --> 00:16:11,971
Where did we put Minnie Mouse?
276
00:16:12,054 --> 00:16:15,349
I can't find Minnie.
Let's see if Daddy can go on.
277
00:16:38,956 --> 00:16:41,237
When you know
you have this many days together,
278
00:16:41,291 --> 00:16:42,584
you wanna maximize those days.
279
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:47,131
So no, we cannot go on a ski trip ever
until Domas retires,
280
00:16:47,214 --> 00:16:49,049
so this is how we're gonna do it.
281
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,720
No!
282
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:54,972
- Three. Whoo!
- Whoo!
283
00:16:55,055 --> 00:16:56,098
- Go.
- Go.
284
00:16:56,181 --> 00:16:58,225
Whee!
285
00:16:58,308 --> 00:16:59,977
- Get on it. Get on it. Get on it.
- No.
286
00:17:02,730 --> 00:17:04,898
- Ready?
- Tigey, look at Mommy.
287
00:17:04,982 --> 00:17:08,402
- Look at Mommy.
- Look at Mommy. 1, 2, 3!
288
00:17:08,485 --> 00:17:09,485
Three!
289
00:17:11,572 --> 00:17:14,116
- Tigey, I'm gonna make you a mini snowman.
- Wow!
290
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:15,993
- Go.
- Do you want me to throw it at Mommy?
291
00:17:20,372 --> 00:17:21,248
All right.
292
00:17:21,331 --> 00:17:23,292
Tigey!
293
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:45,731
I'm in a giving mood today.
294
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,567
This is my daughter's tennis racket.
295
00:17:50,110 --> 00:17:51,945
So I'm going to wrap.
296
00:17:52,446 --> 00:17:55,324
{\an8}You know what?
I might wrap my daughter's gift.
297
00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:58,160
Well, they're my sneakers. They're my JB2.
298
00:17:59,787 --> 00:18:01,371
I'm a professional.
299
00:18:01,872 --> 00:18:05,084
You're looking over at me
like you have no trust in me whatsoever.
300
00:18:06,502 --> 00:18:07,795
This is elite wrapping.
301
00:18:08,295 --> 00:18:10,923
Everything's not a competition, people.
302
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:12,758
This is good though.
303
00:18:12,841 --> 00:18:15,677
Rylee not gonna care.
Rylee loves me for me.
304
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:17,805
There, like that.
305
00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:21,809
Ain't nobody finna be looking
'cause you can't see it.
306
00:18:22,309 --> 00:18:23,769
Are you struggling over there?
307
00:18:23,852 --> 00:18:25,229
Shut up.
308
00:18:25,312 --> 00:18:27,606
What's your problem?
Worry about your own shit.
309
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:30,818
That's not all right though?
Check that. Check that.
310
00:18:31,318 --> 00:18:32,318
Come on!
311
00:18:32,778 --> 00:18:35,739
Come on. Oh yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
312
00:18:35,823 --> 00:18:37,491
Yup! Y'all see this?
313
00:18:37,574 --> 00:18:39,743
Damn. Did your best. Yeah.
314
00:18:40,494 --> 00:18:41,578
I'm like that.
315
00:18:41,662 --> 00:18:44,123
Y'all thought I was just good
at basketball and dominoes.
316
00:18:44,206 --> 00:18:46,458
Nope. I'm good at being a dad.
317
00:18:46,542 --> 00:18:48,335
This my favorite gift right here.
318
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:52,631
- She's gonna love that!
- Shining on they ass. Y'all see that?
319
00:18:52,714 --> 00:18:54,258
That thin little wrist.
320
00:18:54,341 --> 00:18:56,927
Then we got
the Tiffany stamp one for my baby.
321
00:18:59,555 --> 00:19:00,555
Y'all see that?
322
00:19:01,390 --> 00:19:04,268
She finna be shining on y'all
at, like, four years old.
323
00:19:05,352 --> 00:19:06,687
Rylee's gonna love it.
324
00:19:08,438 --> 00:19:11,066
Wanna say I'm a good dad because
325
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:15,529
I haven't told Rylee that
there's no such thing as Santa Claus.
326
00:19:16,029 --> 00:19:19,241
Even though I don't ever want her
to forget the fact
327
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:21,326
that Dada bought all of this shit.
328
00:19:21,410 --> 00:19:24,454
Not some jolly individual
that's supposed to be breaking into homes,
329
00:19:24,538 --> 00:19:26,540

Yeah, I'm pretty sure,
as a kid, I was excited
343
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:32,397
to look under the tree for Christmas.
344
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,317
More shoes?
345
00:20:35,984 --> 00:20:37,945
I don't feel like shoes!
346
00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:41,156
It's a watch! It's a watch! It's a watch!
347
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,575

348

{\an8}Now, I love to get
the opportunity to be around my people.
351
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:57,506
{\an8}I'm fortunate enough
to be able to do that more often than not.

Just to be able to, you know,
have that with my children
355
00:21:11,561 --> 00:21:13,897
is special and will always be special.

I know what you're all thinking. Encore.
360
00:21:24,241 --> 00:21:25,367
Encore.
361
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:26,868
Miami, are you ready?
362
00:21:26,952 --> 00:21:28,578
Christmas Day basketball.
363
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:31,039
- Gotta love it, Monica.
- A dream.
364
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:37,587
The fourth of five today
on ESPN and ABC. One more after this one.
365
00:21:37,671 --> 00:21:41,758
It's been a year of discontinuity
for the Heat.
366
00:21:41,842 --> 00:21:46,179
They're already without Jimmy Butler,
who's out with a calf strain.
367
00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:50,183
It is a privilege
to be able to play on Christmas.
368
00:21:50,267 --> 00:21:51,727
Yes. Love that.
369
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:53,645
It doesn't happen often,
370
00:21:53,729 --> 00:21:57,190
and I didn't get to play on Christmas Day,
which sucks.
371
00:21:57,274 --> 00:21:59,276
But I... I gotta take care of my body, man.
372
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:02,529
And one thing can lead to another,
373
00:22:02,612 --> 00:22:05,949
and a small calf injury
could turn into something bigger.
374
00:22:06,450 --> 00:22:10,787
Being out for a week,
or however long that this may take,
375
00:22:11,288 --> 00:22:13,790
you're gonna have
to get back in basketball shape.
376
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:16,626
Oh! Fire that shit.
377
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:19,504
Thank you. Bang.
378
00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:20,839
Yes! Yes!
379
00:22:21,882 --> 00:22:23,122
But whenever I can go,
380
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:25,177
I promise I'm gonna get out there
and compete.
381
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:26,803
This is what I love to do.
382
00:22:27,387 --> 00:22:29,056
The Heat win it.
383
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:31,933
119-113.
384
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:35,270
Whether I'm on the floor,
whether I'm off the floor,
385
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:36,354
I'm proud of my guys.
386
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:39,608
I can't wait to get back
and lead my guys to something special.
387
00:22:41,318 --> 00:22:43,838
Merry Christmas.
We say thanks for sharing with us
388
00:22:43,904 --> 00:22:45,322
here in downtown Los Angeles.
389
00:22:45,405 --> 00:22:47,824
You know,
two annual highlights of the schedule,
390
00:22:47,908 --> 00:22:50,118
the renewal of the Celtics-Laker rivalry
391
00:22:50,202 --> 00:22:52,245
and the Christmas Day game today.
392
00:22:52,329 --> 00:22:54,247
They come gift-wrapped together.
393
00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:55,749
Having an afternoon game,
394
00:22:55,832 --> 00:22:58,552
so I gotta get up and start getting
my mind and body ready, whatever.
395
00:22:58,585 --> 00:23:02,214
But growing up,
a typical Christmas morning would be...
396
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:09,596
around like 5:36 a.m., you start to, like...
you start getting fidgety.
397
00:23:18,438 --> 00:23:21,858
You start going around,
seeing if your mom is up.
398
00:23:22,859 --> 00:23:25,946
You look outside.
You see if the sun is up yet,
399
00:23:26,613 --> 00:23:28,281
how much snow is on the ground.
400
00:23:29,491 --> 00:23:31,368
It's this smell in Ohio,
401
00:23:32,327 --> 00:23:35,414
in the sense of you know it's Christmas.
You know it's December 25th.
402
00:23:36,790 --> 00:23:38,834
We lived on the top of the building.
403
00:23:40,669 --> 00:23:43,088
My mom would always
decorate our apartment.
404
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:48,218
She would put lights all around the walls,
and we had our little tree.
405
00:23:48,718 --> 00:23:50,345
It was always very festive.
406
00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:53,765
My mom made it feel like...
407
00:23:53,849 --> 00:23:57,519
...like we were
the richest people in the world, for sure.
408
00:23:57,602 --> 00:24:00,522
Like we was, like,
the Bezos' house, for sure.
409
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:06,069
- What you got over there, Bronny?
- Christmas morning 2023.
410
00:24:06,153 --> 00:24:08,029
Here with the James family.
411
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:10,615
This Christmas,
it was just a lot of excitement.
412
00:24:10,699 --> 00:24:12,951
And my mom
actually filmed the whole thing.
413
00:24:13,034 --> 00:24:14,661
What we got?
414
00:24:15,412 --> 00:24:17,914
Christmas is fun.
415
00:24:17,998 --> 00:24:21,251
So we usually are all up about 7:00 a.m.,
416
00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:22,669
thanks to Zhuri Nova.
417
00:24:22,752 --> 00:24:25,464
When Savannah and I
got downstairs around 7:30,
418
00:24:25,547 --> 00:24:29,050
the first thing Zhuri said was,
419
00:24:29,134 --> 00:24:30,469
"Finally!"
420
00:24:30,552 --> 00:24:34,723
{\an8}She saw the carrots was bitten off of
421
00:24:34,806 --> 00:24:36,391
{\an8}because the reindeers got to 'em,
422
00:24:36,892 --> 00:24:39,936
{\an8}and the cookie and the milk
was drank and bit off of
423
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:42,814
{\an8}because Santa came and dropped
all the gifts off the night before.
424
00:24:42,898 --> 00:24:47,152
You know them damn reindeers left
a damn mess on my floor. I tell you that.
425
00:24:48,236 --> 00:24:49,446
Damn reindeer.
426
00:24:51,281 --> 00:24:52,782
Messing up my floors.
427
00:24:54,034 --> 00:24:55,494
He said the exact line.
428
00:24:55,577 --> 00:24:57,370
Did he?
429
00:24:57,454 --> 00:24:58,288
Verbatim.
430
00:24:58,371 --> 00:24:59,206
Did he?
431
00:24:59,289 --> 00:25:01,166
- Yes, even with the "damn."
- See?
432
00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:02,501
That's my bestie.
433
00:25:05,128 --> 00:25:06,568
I don't see any coal.
434
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:08,715
I said you was a good girl this year.
435
00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:12,636
There's no greater feeling
as a kid than open up gifts.
436
00:25:12,719 --> 00:25:15,597
No matter if it's, like, the gift
that you asked for from Santa
437
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,891
or it's a gift that your ass didn't want,
438
00:25:18,558 --> 00:25:19,434
clothes.
439
00:25:19,518 --> 00:25:20,602
Um...
440
00:25:20,685 --> 00:25:22,525
You asked for those,
didn't you?
441
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:25,190
And it... and it coming out.
442
00:25:25,273 --> 00:25:27,817
Bryce bringing 'em back.
He bringing 'em back.
443
00:25:27,901 --> 00:25:30,362
You're not wearing
those goddamn jean shorts.
444
00:25:30,445 --> 00:25:33,740
I love it.
Dad, what we looking at over here?
445
00:25:33,823 --> 00:25:37,410
A Tiffany bracelet that might be a little
bit, uh, made from indigo, but I love it.
446
00:25:37,494 --> 00:25:38,328
Wow.
447
00:25:38,411 --> 00:25:41,248
I love when, you know,
one of the kids open up a gift,
448
00:25:41,331 --> 00:25:44,292
since I've been a parent.
"This is exactly what I wanted!"
449
00:25:46,419 --> 00:25:49,297
It's exactly what I wanted!
450
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:51,299
Greatest present I ever got,
451
00:25:51,383 --> 00:25:54,678
when I was three years old, my mom
got me a Little Tikes basketball hoop.
452
00:25:54,761 --> 00:25:57,097
I had her put it up
to the highest it could be.
453
00:25:57,180 --> 00:26:01,101
The feeling I had as a kid is a feeling
I've now passed on to my kids.
454
00:26:01,184 --> 00:26:03,395
- ...all out.
- It's a guitar!
455
00:26:03,478 --> 00:26:05,564
Oh yeah.
Oh, that's the outdoor guitar.
456
00:26:05,647 --> 00:26:09,234
Christmas, it's, like,
everybody's favorite time of the year.
457
00:26:09,317 --> 00:26:10,443
It's just a great feeling.
458
00:26:11,027 --> 00:26:13,905
{\an8}But also just being, you know,
with our entire family.
459
00:26:13,989 --> 00:26:17,033
{\an8}It's sometimes giving, and it's sometimes...
460
00:26:17,117 --> 00:26:18,553
{\an8}- Receiving?
- Getting.
461
00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:20,495
{\an8}Okay, yeah. Absolutely.
462
00:26:21,705 --> 00:26:23,665
{\an8}We're all together,
like, as a family
463
00:26:23,748 --> 00:26:25,750
{\an8}and, like, sharing what we got,
464
00:26:25,834 --> 00:26:28,962
{\an8}sharing what kind of presents
we got from Santa.
465
00:26:29,045 --> 00:26:30,045
It's really fun.
466
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:32,549
All right. Last one.
467
00:26:32,632 --> 00:26:34,232
To be around, like, loved ones,
468
00:26:34,301 --> 00:26:37,429
to be around people
and seeing them smile and yell,
469
00:26:37,512 --> 00:26:40,932
wrapping paper all over the damn place,
just hearing that excitement,
470
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:44,394
{\an8}being able to give back because
you were given to so much as a kid,
471
00:26:44,477 --> 00:26:45,979
it means everything to me.
472
00:26:46,062 --> 00:26:48,982
That's what we wanna hear
on Christmas morning.
473
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:55,905
Christmas Day,
downtown Los Angeles,
474
00:26:55,989 --> 00:26:59,826
our traditional NBA holiday extravaganza.
475
00:26:59,909 --> 00:27:02,287
The Los Angeles Lakers
coming off a big win.
476
00:27:02,370 --> 00:27:04,164
Remember they won
the In-Season Tournament.
477
00:27:04,247 --> 00:27:06,833
LeBron continues to blaze
an historic trail
478
00:27:06,916 --> 00:27:09,044
just days before his 39th birthday,
479
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:12,088
doing things no one his age
has ever been able to do.
480
00:27:12,172 --> 00:27:15,842
But is carrying this roster
back to the Finals one of them?
481
00:27:16,343 --> 00:27:17,969
A player like LeBron James,
482
00:27:18,053 --> 00:27:20,513
and you're talking about
teams that people want to see,
483
00:27:21,181 --> 00:27:26,561
{\an8}LeBron James's teams almost always
are playing on Christmas Day games.
484
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:30,523
Think about his Christmas rituals
or his Christmas routines.
485
00:27:30,607 --> 00:27:32,984
I'm sure it looks
a lot different than ours.
486
00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:36,946
His 20-plus years
have involved a game, work.
487
00:27:37,447 --> 00:27:40,909
Our Christmas routines
involve watching him work.
488
00:27:40,992 --> 00:27:43,392
- ...for you at this point.
- Yep, it sure is.
489
00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:48,500
The NBA blessed me this year.
490
00:27:49,084 --> 00:27:50,085
Let me stay home.
491
00:27:51,169 --> 00:27:53,046
It'll be twelve on the road, six at home,
492
00:27:53,546 --> 00:27:54,798
if I had to guess.
493
00:27:58,009 --> 00:28:01,179
I know it ain't more home than away.
That's for damn sure.
494
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:15,527
It is a little tough
playing on Christmas
495
00:28:15,610 --> 00:28:17,404
when you're the road team.
496
00:28:19,239 --> 00:28:22,367
I don't know, just something about
waking up in a hotel,
497
00:28:22,450 --> 00:28:23,910
getting on a bus,
498
00:28:23,993 --> 00:28:25,787
that makes it a little tough.
499
00:28:25,870 --> 00:28:28,164
You know, not being able
to wake up with your family.
500
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:30,750
But, you know, Deuce,
my mom is gonna bring him,
501
00:28:31,251 --> 00:28:33,044
and he'll be able to come to the game.
502
00:28:34,879 --> 00:28:37,465
But Christmas morning,
get a phone call from my mom.
503
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:38,550
She was crying,
504
00:28:38,633 --> 00:28:41,112
you know, saying that they don't know
if they're gonna make it.
505
00:28:41,136 --> 00:28:42,846
Something was wrong with the plane.
506
00:28:42,929 --> 00:28:46,266
She really wanted to be there.
She really wanted Deuce to be there.
507
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,646
So I was... you know, I was upset,
but my mom was even more upset
508
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:53,773
that, you know,
she couldn't make it happen.
509
00:28:55,108 --> 00:28:57,652
It was
a very stressful, emotional day.
510
00:28:57,736 --> 00:28:59,320
I can't remember if it's 9, 10 o'clock.
511
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:01,740
We get to the airport,
and the plane won't start.
512
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,368
{\an8}And so I was like, "Yeah, right.
Like, what are you talking about?"
513
00:29:05,452 --> 00:29:06,703
{\an8}The plane, it would not start.
514
00:29:06,786 --> 00:29:09,080
{\an8}And they were like,
"We've been trying all morning."
515
00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:10,373
We called our assistant.
516
00:29:10,457 --> 00:29:13,126
We started scrambling to see,
you know, is there a closer plane?
517
00:29:13,209 --> 00:29:16,796
Is there another plane here in Boston
that we could switch with somebody?
518
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,049
We literally ran
from one plane to the other.
519
00:29:20,550 --> 00:29:23,219
So I got on the plane not knowing
if we were gonna make it or not.
520
00:29:31,352 --> 00:29:33,396
My mom... they was on the plane.
521
00:29:34,522 --> 00:29:36,941
They got to the plane.
The plane wouldn't cut on.
522
00:29:37,817 --> 00:29:40,820
They had to, like,
fly to New York to get another plane.
523
00:29:41,529 --> 00:29:42,989
Thank you. Thank you.
524
00:29:43,072 --> 00:29:45,283
- Merry Christmas, Jayson.
- Jayson!
525
00:29:46,284 --> 00:29:48,995
- MVP of the league right there.
- Oh, thank you!
526
00:29:49,078 --> 00:29:51,414
- Nice!
- Thank you, Jayson!
527
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:01,174
I miss my mom and my son.
528
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,470
{\an8}You know, me and my mom super close.
529
00:30:06,095 --> 00:30:08,264
{\an8}She's my real, like, best friend.
530
00:30:10,517 --> 00:30:13,686
I am true definition of a mama's boy.
531
00:30:13,770 --> 00:30:19,192
The reason... who I am,
and why I am the person I am today.
532
00:30:19,275 --> 00:30:21,444
I'm trying not to cry right now.
533
00:30:22,195 --> 00:30:25,240
- But I'm... I mean, I'm so happy.
- A lot of emotions.
534
00:30:25,323 --> 00:30:26,683
And I know this is special for you
535
00:30:26,741 --> 00:30:29,786
because your mom, Brandy,
was one of the first people you hugged.
536
00:30:29,869 --> 00:30:31,579
She raised you as a single mother,
537
00:30:31,663 --> 00:30:34,958
did everything she could to put you
in the best situations possible.
538
00:30:35,041 --> 00:30:37,710
What does this night mean to you and her?
539
00:30:37,794 --> 00:30:40,129
We went through
the toughest of times together,
540
00:30:40,630 --> 00:30:42,882
and, you know,
it just made our bond even stronger.
541
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:48,930
I had him on spring break
of my freshman year in college.
542
00:30:49,013 --> 00:30:51,516
When you're young, you just
don't have any money and resources,
543
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:52,725
but you got all the energy.
544
00:30:52,809 --> 00:30:54,686
Some of the things that we struggled with
545
00:30:54,769 --> 00:30:57,438
were just, you know,
the basic necessities sometimes.
546
00:30:58,773 --> 00:31:00,608
Christmas Day is always special.
547
00:31:01,109 --> 00:31:02,443
Me and my mom laugh about it.
548
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:04,737
Didn't have a Christmas tree
when I was younger.
549
00:31:04,821 --> 00:31:07,323
There weren't an abundance of gifts.
550
00:31:08,408 --> 00:31:11,578
You know, my mom always made sure
I had something to open on Christmas.
551
00:31:11,661 --> 00:31:14,581
Pair of basketball shoes
or a basketball jersey.
552
00:31:14,664 --> 00:31:16,708
It always had something
to do with basketball,
553
00:31:17,208 --> 00:31:20,128
and I was always grateful
and happy and thankful.
554
00:31:21,796 --> 00:31:23,423
Now she's a grandmother.
555
00:31:23,506 --> 00:31:27,218
And Deuce has three different
Christmas trees at our house,
556
00:31:27,302 --> 00:31:29,304
and we have
all these Christmas decorations.
557
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:31,764
And it just makes me happy,
like, you know?
558
00:31:31,848 --> 00:31:35,476
That we get to spend
that time together and, uh,
559
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,062
you know,
he gets to enjoy Christmas to the fullest.
560
00:31:38,146 --> 00:31:42,567
Boston Celtics,
Los Angeles Lakers, an NBA Christmas.
561
00:31:42,650 --> 00:31:43,943
Merry Christmas!
562
00:31:45,111 --> 00:31:46,111
Ha, ha!
563
00:31:47,113 --> 00:31:48,114
Ah!
564
00:31:49,782 --> 00:31:50,782
Uh-huh.
565
00:31:52,785 --> 00:31:55,955
Ooh! Merry Christmas!
566
00:31:56,623 --> 00:32:00,168
Coming on to the court,
your Los Angeles Lakers!
567
00:32:01,461 --> 00:32:05,840
{\an8}There's Christmas Day games, and then
there's Celtics-Lakers on Christmas.
568
00:32:07,258 --> 00:32:09,427
You know, the stars are gonna be out.
569
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:11,471
Other than playing in the Finals,
570
00:32:11,554 --> 00:32:15,058
I don't know if there's a cooler game
to play in than on Christmas.
571
00:32:16,267 --> 00:32:17,995
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
572
00:32:18,019 --> 00:32:20,229
- All right.
- Where's Deuce?
573
00:32:20,313 --> 00:32:23,358
- He gonna be at the game today.
- Yeah. All right. All right.
574
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:26,861
It's always just different
when it's the Celtics and the Lakers.
575
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:31,157
Both Jayson Tatum and LeBron James
mic'd up for us here on Christmas Day.
576
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,617
Vando.
577
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:34,619
I want you in the corner. Elbow.
578
00:32:35,411 --> 00:32:36,411
Hey, take it out.
579
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:38,998
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay.
580
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:40,124
Go get him. Go get him.
581
00:32:43,127 --> 00:32:45,838
James backs in,
left hand, lays it up, and in.
582
00:32:45,922 --> 00:32:47,173
Bravo!
583
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:50,373
I traveled like a motherfucker.
584
00:32:51,010 --> 00:32:52,929
By far, that's the worst
I've ever had in my...
585
00:32:53,012 --> 00:32:54,722
since I first started playing basketball.
586
00:32:55,556 --> 00:32:56,766
AR, go! Go! AR!
587
00:32:56,849 --> 00:32:57,849
Front, Red!
588
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:00,478
Tatum against Reddish.
589
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:02,187
Backs in.
590
00:33:02,230 --> 00:33:03,815
Boy, he is strong in the post.
591
00:33:03,898 --> 00:33:05,316
That is bully ball.
592
00:33:06,943 --> 00:33:09,946
Used to dream about being
on this particular floor,
593
00:33:10,029 --> 00:33:13,616
or used to watch your
favorite player play on Christmas,
594
00:33:13,700 --> 00:33:15,034
and now you're doing the same.
595
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:18,195
- KP!
- I got it.
596
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:21,290
Tatum finds some room.
597
00:33:22,041 --> 00:33:23,626
James in the open floor.
598
00:33:23,710 --> 00:33:26,295
Celtics all around him,
and he still puts it up and in.
599
00:33:26,379 --> 00:33:29,590
Nine straight points by the Lakers,
and it's a one-point game.
600
00:33:34,804 --> 00:33:37,306
When there's
a few seconds to just rest,
601
00:33:37,390 --> 00:33:40,309
and I can just absorb all the moment,
602
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:41,394
this is crazy.
603
00:33:42,145 --> 00:33:44,147
But my family, they weren't there.
604
00:33:44,731 --> 00:33:46,065
And it was tough. Like, I knew...
605
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:49,402
I knew where they were sitting,
and I saw the seats empty.
606
00:33:50,278 --> 00:33:53,072
That one goes off sideways,
out of bounds.
607
00:33:58,661 --> 00:34:00,101
Tatum behind the back.
608
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:02,373
Lots of contact that time.
609
00:34:02,457 --> 00:34:04,375
- Tatum upset.
- What the fuck?!
610
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:08,671
No, no, no, no. Right here. Right here.
611
00:34:13,634 --> 00:34:17,346
I think it's his 3rd miss,
and he still didn't hesitate.
612
00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:18,681
Go down. Go down.
613
00:34:20,975 --> 00:34:23,095
Tatum misfires that.
614
00:34:24,270 --> 00:34:26,064
Ball deflected out by Davis.
615
00:34:26,564 --> 00:34:28,524
Tatum drives on Reddish.
616
00:34:29,025 --> 00:34:30,026
Well-defended.
617
00:34:31,194 --> 00:34:32,111
Not that time.
618
00:34:34,113 --> 00:34:37,283
And that ends
a wild second quarter.
619
00:34:37,366 --> 00:34:39,285
What a fun game here on Christmas
620
00:34:39,368 --> 00:34:43,372
{\an8}between the two most storied franchises
in NBA history.
621
00:34:46,334 --> 00:34:48,254
Don't play
with the frustration level,
622
00:34:48,294 --> 00:34:49,754
because the process is there.
623
00:34:49,837 --> 00:34:52,399
So instead of that spin off right there,
Russell's standing there.
624
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:54,300
Go rip screen, or you slip out of it,
625
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:56,135
and then you come get the DHO from Al.
626
00:34:56,219 --> 00:34:57,929
Don't spin move to the back of the...
627
00:34:58,012 --> 00:35:00,640
Yeah, it wasn't really there.
You were just trying to force it.
628
00:35:00,723 --> 00:35:02,350
See the other things that's there.
629
00:35:02,433 --> 00:35:04,560
You know,
the opponent is our enemy at the time.
630
00:35:04,644 --> 00:35:06,229
And that's who we're going up against.
631
00:35:06,312 --> 00:35:08,606
{\an8}And you gotta know
that you're just as much a threat
632
00:35:08,689 --> 00:35:10,650
{\an8}in the environment as anybody else.
633
00:35:10,733 --> 00:35:13,402
I'm thinking if I spin,
the man in the corner help.
634
00:35:13,486 --> 00:35:14,987
I gotta throw the ball to the corner.
635
00:35:15,071 --> 00:35:18,741
Yeah, he does, but we don't get you
the ball in an advantageous situation.
636
00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:23,079
That's a read you're hoping they make
instead of making the play that's there.
637
00:35:23,162 --> 00:35:24,539
- Right.
- Like those are for ATOs.
638
00:35:24,622 --> 00:35:26,391
- Don't let the frustration go.
- Okay.
639
00:35:26,415 --> 00:35:28,918
- See the floor. Make the right play.
- I got you.
640
00:35:29,418 --> 00:35:30,795
And so that comment was like,
641
00:35:30,878 --> 00:35:33,047
"Hey. This is what they're trying to do."
642
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:35,216
"If they see that,
this is what they're gonna go to."
643
00:35:40,721 --> 00:35:44,016
One of the things that
Joe Mazzulla's been talking about
644
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:46,352
is the unselfishness of his stars,
645
00:35:46,435 --> 00:35:47,728
but as for the Celtics,
646
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:50,064
you wanna see Tatum
be a little more aggressive?
647
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:51,828
Has to be more aggressive,
648
00:35:51,899 --> 00:35:53,860
but the big difference
in the game right now,
649
00:35:53,943 --> 00:35:57,446
it's a one-point, one-shot difference
in the three-point line.
650
00:35:57,530 --> 00:35:58,990
If you tell me that before the game,
651
00:35:59,073 --> 00:36:01,534
I'm telling you
the Lakers are gonna win that game.
652
00:36:02,243 --> 00:36:04,537
Not to say
that I was, like, down, but
653
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:08,875
I was anticipating them showing up.
654
00:36:10,459 --> 00:36:13,713
You know, it's just being a dad
on Christmas is so much different.
655
00:36:13,796 --> 00:36:15,339
It's just all about the kids.
656
00:36:16,424 --> 00:36:20,136
Kept looking over there to their seat,
looking at the time.
657
00:36:20,219 --> 00:36:21,929
I was just hoping that they made it.
658
00:36:33,649 --> 00:36:36,402
That was like
a bucket-list moment, playing in LA
659
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:38,571
against the Lakers on Christmas
660
00:36:38,654 --> 00:36:41,073
and my mom and my son courtside there.
661
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:42,950
That's a special moment.
662
00:36:43,743 --> 00:36:46,329
It doesn't get any better
than playing on Christmas Day
663
00:36:46,412 --> 00:36:48,706
in that environment and that moment.
664
00:36:48,789 --> 00:36:50,833
That was for sure something
I'll always remember.
665
00:36:50,917 --> 00:36:53,336
Yo. What up?
666
00:36:53,836 --> 00:36:55,880
Merry Christmas. Do I get a hug?
667
00:36:58,883 --> 00:36:59,926
What's up, Mom?
668
00:37:01,510 --> 00:37:03,971
To see the smile on
Jayson and Deuce's face
669
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:06,224
when they finally were reunited,
670
00:37:06,307 --> 00:37:07,308
it was a relief.
671
00:37:07,808 --> 00:37:11,771
And them walking in just kind of
gave me some more life, some energy.
672
00:37:13,814 --> 00:37:17,526
Celtics, the last two games,
at 25 threes and 22 threes,
673
00:37:17,610 --> 00:37:21,155
as Tatum makes a beautiful move.
Just his third field goal.
674
00:37:23,157 --> 00:37:26,285
Now Davis trying to defend Porzingis.
Tatum gets the entry pass.
675
00:37:26,369 --> 00:37:28,579
That's a nice feed from Porzingis.
676
00:37:28,663 --> 00:37:30,122
White, pass inside.
677
00:37:30,206 --> 00:37:33,167
Tatum, a little hesitation and shoots.
678
00:37:33,834 --> 00:37:35,127
Pass, D. White.
679
00:37:35,795 --> 00:37:38,923
White throws it up
for Tatum, and he throws it down.
680
00:37:39,006 --> 00:37:41,259
Where are you? I can't see you.
681
00:37:41,342 --> 00:37:43,702
- It must be the shoes.
- You gotta get to the corner.
682
00:37:43,761 --> 00:37:46,264
- Under four to play.
- Hoo! Hoo!
683
00:37:46,347 --> 00:37:48,683
Right, left! Right, left! Set it. Set it!
684
00:37:52,895 --> 00:37:54,480
Oh!
685
00:37:55,273 --> 00:38:00,361
Well, Celtics
will improve to an NBA-best 23 and 6.
686
00:38:12,081 --> 00:38:13,475
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
687
00:38:13,499 --> 00:38:14,583
- Yo.
- Yes, sir.
688
00:38:14,667 --> 00:38:16,669
Deuce! Merry Christmas, man.
689
00:38:16,752 --> 00:38:19,714
What's up, boy?
That's very... Merry Christmas.
690
00:38:19,797 --> 00:38:21,924
- Look at him.
- All right, baby.
691
00:38:23,217 --> 00:38:25,594
- What's up? Merry Christmas.
- Keep going.
692
00:38:25,678 --> 00:38:28,472
- Deuce, what up, baby?
- Merry Christmas, brother.
693
00:38:29,765 --> 00:38:31,642
Daddy, I wanna stay with you.
694
00:38:31,726 --> 00:38:32,726
You can.
695
00:38:33,477 --> 00:38:35,980
All right, baby. All right, baby.
Take care of my nephew.
696
00:38:36,063 --> 00:38:38,399
All five starters in double figures,
697
00:38:38,482 --> 00:38:43,195
but it was your defense that helped you
recontrol the game in that second half.
698
00:38:43,279 --> 00:38:45,656
Just how we responded.
We jumped out on them early.
699
00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:47,884
Uh, they're a really good team.
They got great players.
700
00:38:47,908 --> 00:38:51,287
Was this a good win for your dad?
Happy, uh, Christmas?
701
00:38:51,370 --> 00:38:52,747
Happy Christmas.
702
00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:54,665
Perfect. Merry Christmas.
703
00:38:59,670 --> 00:39:00,671
What's going on?
704
00:39:00,755 --> 00:39:02,298
What's up, girl?
705
00:39:02,381 --> 00:39:04,550
- Little college student.
- Good to see you.
706
00:39:04,633 --> 00:39:05,633
What's up?
707
00:39:05,968 --> 00:39:06,968
Nephew.
708
00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:08,804
- Go, Ducks.
- Go, Ducks.
709
00:39:08,888 --> 00:39:10,765
Best of luck in that game.
It's on the first?
710
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:12,850
- Yeah, the first.
- Yes, sir. Go get busy.
711
00:39:13,642 --> 00:39:15,269
- What up, dawg?
- What's up?
712
00:39:19,815 --> 00:39:20,816
Merry Christmas.
713
00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:22,651
- What's up, Richie P.?
- What's up, bro?
714
00:39:22,735 --> 00:39:23,944
- Hey, man.
- Totally.
715
00:39:28,741 --> 00:39:30,868
It's Christmas. I'm a nice guy today.
716
00:39:31,744 --> 00:39:33,162
I ain't usually this nice.
717
00:39:33,245 --> 00:39:34,330
It's all good.
718
00:39:34,413 --> 00:39:35,581
Nice to meet you.
719
00:39:36,248 --> 00:39:38,709
Deuce! Merry Christmas, Deuce.
720
00:39:40,252 --> 00:39:42,172
Y'all finally made it.
721
00:39:42,254 --> 00:39:43,881
Long day?
722
00:39:44,882 --> 00:39:47,134
- Deuce good today?
- Don't ask me on camera.
723
00:39:48,052 --> 00:39:51,180
Why do you have so many tattoos?
724
00:39:51,847 --> 00:39:53,182
Daddy like tattoos.
725
00:39:53,265 --> 00:39:54,141
Just because...
726
00:39:54,225 --> 00:39:57,520
Is this me or you when you were a baby?
727
00:39:57,603 --> 00:39:59,897
That's an angel. You right there.
728
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:04,610
You as a baby though.
729
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:08,322
This say your name
on the back of this arm.
730
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:10,241
Oh yeah. I like that one.
731
00:40:10,324 --> 00:40:12,118
Nice, Tigey.
732
00:40:13,285 --> 00:40:15,079
Wow.
733
00:40:15,579 --> 00:40:17,456
Who else is in there? Tiger.
734
00:40:17,540 --> 00:40:19,750
- Who else is in there?
- Is Ernie in there?
735
00:40:29,218 --> 00:40:31,637
Whoa, look at that pretty dress.
736
00:40:36,183 --> 00:40:37,226
Z!
737
00:40:38,060 --> 00:40:40,980
Ah!
738
00:40:42,064 --> 00:40:43,064
What's up, cutie pie?
739
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:46,026
Merry Christmas, y'all.
740
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:47,486
Merry Christmas.
741
00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:50,030
Merry Christmas, y'all.
742
00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:52,074
Merry Christmases.
743
00:40:52,158 --> 00:40:53,784
Merry Christmases.
744
00:40:53,868 --> 00:40:54,868
Ready, booboo?
745
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:56,453
Let's do it.
746
00:40:59,081 --> 00:41:01,876
Stop! We're on camera.
747
00:41:01,959 --> 00:41:02,960
That's my camera.
748
00:41:04,712 --> 00:41:06,672
It's the best feeling
in the world.
749
00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:09,842
I got a beautiful wife,
a beautiful family.
750
00:41:09,925 --> 00:41:13,179
It's so cool being a dad,
being a husband, being a son.
751
00:41:13,262 --> 00:41:14,889
My... my beautiful mom as well.
752
00:41:14,972 --> 00:41:16,098
I'm sitting there, like,
753
00:41:16,182 --> 00:41:19,435
"This is, like,
the coolest feeling in the world."
