LeBron James and the NBA are going to have make room for the NFL on Christmas. That shouldn't be a problem. Both leagues were winners on Wednesday. Netflix set records as the most-streamed NFL games in U.

The NBA has long dominated Christmas, just as Thanksgiving has become synonymous with football, but viewers got the best of both worlds on Wednesday.

NEW YORK – The NBA delivered its most-watched Christmas Day in five years, averaging 5.25 million viewers per game in the U.S. across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, Disney+ and ESPN+, according to Nielsen Fast Nationals. Viewership was up 84% vs. last year.
