NBA: Ballin' in a Christmas Wonderland by Translation
- Location:
The NBA has a new holiday spot, 'Ballin’ in a Christmas Wonderland,' featuring multi-platinum performing artist Normani singing a reimagined basketball rendition of the classic holiday song, Winter Wonderland.
See what happens when the magic of the season hits the court, as the league’s biggest names dribble, dunk and pass on a winterized court for a festive Christmas Wonderland.
The spot features players from the five Christmas Day matchups, including LeBron James (LA Lakers), Kemba Walker (Boston Celtics), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), Brandon Ingram (New Orleans Pelicans), Kawhi Leonard (LA Clippers), Nikola Jokić (Denver Nuggets), Pascal Siakam (Toronto Raptors), Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers), James Harden (Houston Rockets), Russell Westbrook (Houston Rockets), D'Angelo Russell (Golden State Warriors) and Anthony Davis (LA Lakers).
Ballin’ in a Christmas Wonderland Lyrics:
NBA, Christmas greetings
The league’s best are competing
To drive and be cheered, The Klaw to be feared
Ballin’ in a Christmas wonderland
Matchups are tight
Games all day and night
Ballin’ in a Christmas wonderland
