Normally, NBA Christmas game is the most dazzling team showdown, and it is also the stage for the most dazzling stars. LeBron James participated in 14 Christmas games, Kevin Durant participated in 9 times, Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving both participated in 7 times, and Kawhi Leonard participated in 4 times. So, who of these 5 NBA superstars performed best in the Christmas War? American media "sidelinehoops" statistics related data, James' data is not as good as Durant, but the record is the best, and the Christmas battle is simply a nightmare for Curry.
5, Stephen Curry
Stephen Curry only achieved a record of 3 wins and 4 losses in the 7 Christmas Wars. His personal data averaged only 12.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.4 assists, and his shooting percentage was 29.3%. In the Christmas game, Curry played a regular level in rebounding and connecting the team, but his most proud shot was very embarrassing. Whether it is the Christmas game or the All-Star Game, or in the finals, Curry's performance is not convincing, he needs to prove himself on the big stage.
4, Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving also played 7 Christmas games, a record of 2 wins and 5 losses, personal data averaged 24.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists, shooting 44.6%. Irving is a player who likes to show off his skills on the big stage. He is very good at breaking through and delivering a fatal blow. From the data point of view, Irving maintained his daily level in the Christmas game, but his inability to lead the team to win is the main reason why he was madly criticized.
3, Kawhi Leonard
Kawhi Leonard's taciturn personality makes him easy to be forgotten. So far, he has only participated in 4 Christmas battles, with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, averaging 23.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and shooting 48.2% from the field. Leonard is very stable offensive and defensive, which makes him one of the best wing players in the NBA. However, Leonard's team leadership is insufficient, which is the main reason why the Clippers were overturned in the playoffs 1-3 last season.
2, LeBron James
LeBron James has participated in a total of 14 Christmas games, which is also the NBA player who has played the most Christmas games. James's record in the Christmas game is 9 wins and 5 losses. He averaged 25.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, and his field goal percentage was 48.7%. One of the main reasons why James is considered to be the only player who can match Jordan is that he can maintain a stable output at all times and lead the team to victory with outstanding leadership.
1, Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant has participated in 9 Christmas games, with a record of 4 wins and 5 losses, but he averaged 30.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 51.7%. Durant is a big killer on the offensive end. He can maintain efficient scoring efficiency at any moment, which is a nightmare for any defender. If you put aside the record, in terms of personal performance, Durant's performance in the Christmas game is better than James.
