As we head towards the orgee of Christmas games and the associated gluttony of the festive season, we are reminded that there once was a relevant basketball team in LA LA Land. Kobe “Bean” Bryant will see his Jerseys hoisted to the Staple Center rafters on Monday night, to take his place alongside such luminaries as Magic, Kareem & Fletch. BT Sport seem to have caught wind and are featuring the Lakers no less than three times this week for reasons known only to themselves. The inconsistent Bucks welcome Lebron on Tuesday and the Celtics go to MSG to take on the always entertaining Knicks on Thursday night. It don’t stop. Again we aim to be your guide to watching the NBA in the UK.
