LeBron James wants the league to bring back the NBA Christmas Day jerseys

Fans have always been treated well by the league with their annual Christmas Day jerseys. There have been some iconic jerseys the stars have worn during the holidays. LeBron James, who has played quite a few games during the worldwide holiday, has had plenty of chances to wear special jerseys.

However, in recent years, Nike and the league have stopped making the special edition jersey. While not many fans are looking for it, James and Rui Hachimura are some of the few players who want to see it being worn by players again. The Lakers players shared their opinions about the special edition uniforms.

"I do wish we had Xmas day uniforms across the league still. Wonder why it stopped," James posted on X.

Hachimura, who's playing his first Christmas Day game tonight, shared his disappointment when he found out that the league won't have special jerseys this year.

"My first time. I've been dreaming about it. I'm excited. Are we going to have jerseys or no? Like a Christmas jersey?" Hachimura said.
"Awwww," the Japanese forward said when he found out that they won't be wearing special edition jerseys.
