NBA fans stick up for the league
It didn’t take long for basketball fans to hit back and defend their league.
“These guys are so insecure about American sports,” wrote one fan.
Regardless of the argument in the comments section, the NBA saw strong viewership numbers for its Christmas Day schedule.
“Basketball is just America. And they call it the world champion,” wrote another fan.
Fans were also treated to an ABC special titled “NBA OGs Convo” featuring the trio of LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.
The special was created to celebrate the legacies of the three all-time greats, and while basketball fans were excited by what they saw, fans of other sports also weighed in.
A third wrote: “Tbh Steph clears Messi and Ronny.”
After the NBA’s Instagram account posted a picture from the special, soccer fans let it be known they weren’t all that impressed.
