For years, the NFL had Thanksgiving and the NBA had Christmas. Now, the NFL is coming down the chimney and stealing the NBA's milk and cookies.
What's happening: The NFL is playing on Christmas Day for a third straight season, and they're going bigger than ever this year, with the first Christmas triple-header in league history.
The New York Knicks haven't had a great basketball team in quite a while, but they've still shown up in the NBA's marquee Christmas Day games more often than any other team. And they're back in the mix this year.
By the numbers: The Los Angeles Lakers hold the record for the most wins on Christmas, when the NBA tries to highlight its best teams and biggest stars.
