The Golden State Warriors<\/a> dynasty was effectively launched in 2014. The franchise went on to win four NBA titles over eight years.<\/p>\n

The rise to prominence after decades of irrelevance, combined with a star-studded roster that continues to feature Stephen Curry<\/a> and Draymond Green, thrust the Warriors into the company of the NBA\u2019s marquee teams. That status has made Golden State a regular selection to play on Christmas Day, appearing in each of the past 13 seasons.<\/p>\n

The Warriors last won the NBA Finals in 2022, and the roster has undergone some turnover in the past few seasons, though Golden State managed to defeat the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day last week. However, Green said he would have preferred to have the day off.<\/p>\n

Green argued that scheduling games on Dec. 25 negatively impacts players\u2019 ability to spend time with their families during the holidays.<\/p>\n

“Playing on Christmas Day also f—–g sucks. And the reason it sucks is, No. 1, what I\u2014what I just said, uh, it can affect your mood,” Draymond said on his podcast before this year\u2019s Christmas game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“No. 2, we are human beings and, just like everyone else, enjoy Christmas Day with our families. That kinda gets messed up for us. Um, they\u2019re in their homes or on vacation with their families, making memories.”<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t \u2014 we don\u2019t get that opportunity. So I hate when people are like, \u2018Oh man, it\u2019s an honor to play on Christmas Day.\u2019 People should shut up. Like, no \u2014 you should shut up, because whether you played on Christmas Day or not, I don\u2019t \u2014 I don\u2019t really care about the perspective.”<\/p>\n

Green was drafted in the second round in 2012, meaning he has spent every Christmas since his rookie season on the hardwood.<\/p>\n

While the NBA has shown no signs of ending its Christmas tradition, the league now faces competition from the NFL.<\/a> This year, three NFL games went head-to-head with the NBA slate.<\/p>\n

The Warriors defeated the Brooklyn Nets 120-107 on Monday. Golden State returns to action on New Year\u2019s Eve for a matin\u00e9e matchup with the Charlotte Hornets.<\/a><\/p>\n
