Following the NBA’s much-anticipated Christmas Day games, Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant talked about how many people watch the league.
The NBA is cautiously optimistic as it waits for the official viewership numbers for its Christmas Day show. Fans had a lot of good things to say about the day’s acts, with Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant standing out as one of the main reasons for the excitement.

The five-game schedule had exciting matchups and great performances from each player. In the Lakers-Warriors match, LeBron James and Stephen Curry fought hard, Anthony Edwards shined for the Timberwolves, Joel Embiid ruled for the 76ers, and Kevin Durant showed how great he is with the Suns.

Fans were reminded of how amazing the league is at holding people’s attention with these standout acts. After the game, Durant talked to the reporters and shared his thoughts on the viewership debate and how the players are often the focus of the conversation. He made it clear that the problem goes beyond individual efforts.

Durant said, “I hear a lot of people blaming the players for the strange talks going on around the league and among viewers.” “For something that big, there’s more than one reason why it’s going that way.”

Durant’s comments give us a bigger picture of how hard it is for the NBA to keep viewers and players interested, saying that we need to look at more than just player performance to find solutions.
Durant thinks about his win on Christmas Day
With a big win over the Denver Nuggets on Christmas Day, the Phoenix Suns showed that they could be a major force in the NBA regular season. Even though Nikola Jokic played hard, the Suns, led by Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal’s great games, were too strong for the Nuggets to handle.

Durant talked about how tough the Suns were after the game. Durant talked about the difficulties of playing without a full squad. “When key guys in your lineup are out, sometimes you have to change your team’s identity on the fly,” he said. His words showed how well the team could change and deal with problems.

Durant also thought about how important it was to play on such an important day with loved ones. With his mother watching from the stands, he talked about how important it is to have family support on big days. Durant said, “It never gets old having your family and support system there,” which showed how important the moment was to him emotionally.

Both players scored 27 points, which helped the team win by 10 points after being ahead in three of the four quarters.

Durant did more than just score; he also helped out by passing the ball six times and grabbing four boards. With the win, the Suns’ regular-season record went from 15-14 to 15-14, and Durant’s great season got even better.
