The Philadelphia 76ers play against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden

Playing on Christmas Day has been an NBA tradition as long as the league has been around, with the first Christmas Day game taking place in 1947 when the New York Knicks defeated Providence Steamrollers in Madison Square Garden.

Phoenix Suns All-Star Devin Booker has a wish for his future NBA Christmas lists. “I miss the jerseys,” he said. “I wish they’d still switch to the Christmas jerseys.” The NBA had custom Christmas jerseys from 2012 to 2016 that had everything from first names on the back of the jerseys, cream colored script fonts to outlined letters and numbers.
