Welcome to the holiday edition of B-Sides! We’re so close to an entire Christmas day of NBA games while eating leftovers and ignoring our families. Until then, here is a special holiday themed B-Sides to hold you over.
The B-Sides: Victor Oladipo watches ‘Home Alone’ every night and 7 other reasons to love the NBA this week
1. Victor Oladipo watches Home Alone every night
This all started because Oladipo posted an Instagram story of himself watching Home Alone 2 at 4:40 a.m.
A reporter asked him about the post the next day.
“Every night, bro. Home Alone 1 or 2, it depends on how I’m feeling. It depends. Do I want to see him go to New York or do I want to see him stay home?”
Thank goodness he didn’t even acknowledge Home Alone 3 as an option.
2. Baron Davis as Buddy from Elf
Baron Davis did a table read for a scene from Elf. Just watch this. Please.
3. Jordan Clarkson being ambushed with snowballs
Please scroll through the photos because they are fantastic.

5. J.R. Smith’s “Merry Swishmas” Hoodie
These aren’t ugly, J.R. They are perfect.
6. Kelly Oubre’s ‘Holiday CeleOubre-tion’ Toy Drive
The name, the photos, the dog, the location. It’s all perfect.
This picture seals the deal, though.
7. This photo of Steven Adams and Enes Kanter
This picture is too perfect not to include this week and Steven Adams is wearing a winter hat SO IT COUNTS.
8. The Sixers mascot as Santa Claus riding a reindeer?
I don’t know.
My favorite James Harden photo of the week
Yes, this is a photo of Kyle Kuzma scoring 38 points on the Rockets. James Harden also pictured.
In the words of *NSYNC, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
