The NBA is already waiting for the arrival of Christmas; Nikola Jokic, Magic Johnson style; Chris Paul is already a historic player in the league and Las Vegas will burn with the NBA Cup semifinals. This and more in the Top 5…

1.- I hope the games are this good. The NBA did it again and to present the grid of Christmas gamesin which the Disney cast will participate (read Mickey Mouse, among others) released a promotional that is to be seen again and again.

In this regard, the Association does everything possible so that this special date for lovers of the best basketball in the world does not remain just another one and generates interest.

Enjoy…

2.- Another milestone for Caitlin Clark. The rookie sensation WNBA and the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark was named Athlete of the Year by ‘Time’ magazine.

Clark had a great 2024 after becoming the Rookie of the Year in WNBA and take the Fever to the playoffs.

Thus, Caitlin Clark receives the award from the American magazine after the Argentine star Lionel Messi He will win it in 2023.

Precisely the magazine placed Clark above Messi and Michael Jordan for her ability to “alter the trajectory of a team sport in just five months” when announcing the award to the 22-year-old athlete.

3.- Nikola Jokic left Magic Johnson behind. A couple of days ago, the center of the Denver Nuggets, Nikola Jokicsurpassed a player who had the same remarkable ability as the Serbian.

The center left behind the member of the Hall of Fame Magic Johnson and placed third on the list of triple-doubles by registering the 139th of his career during a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Now the ‘Joker’ he’s just behind his teammate Russell Westbrook (200) and Oscar Robertson (181) on the list of triple-doubles in history.

4.- Las Vegas is waiting. The NBA Cup The four teams that are still alive have been defined for the final of the tournament that will take place on December 17.

For now, on Saturday the semi-finals between Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks for the Eastern Conference, while Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder They will define the finalist of the West.

After watching the quarterfinal clashes, the semifinals promise to be exciting and with little difference on the scoreboard, since the four contenders are in the top positions of their respective conferences.

This time what happens in Las Vegas, will not stay in Las Vegas, since the winner of the second edition of the NBA Cup will be known throughout the world.

5.- Great detail of the Spurs with the historic Chris Paul. CP3 became the second highest assister in NBA history.

The point guard surpassed Jason Kiddwho had 12,091 during his career in the league, compared to the 12,092 that CP3 reached during the week.

Chris Paul still has many balls to distribute to reach the legendary John Stockton and their 15,806 in the place of honor among NBA assists.
