Steal: Irving.
The 2016 Warriors vs. Cavaliers Christmas game was the most exciting Christmas game in the minds of many fans, and Irving's key shot in the Finals a few months ago helped the Cavaliers reverse the Warriors 4-3 to win the first championship in team history, making the 73-win overall runner-up a joke. The league naturally arranged for the Cavaliers and the Warriors to play that year's Christmas game, at this time Durant had joined the Warriors, the two sides played very anxiously, and the Cavaliers fell behind by four points with 43 seconds left in the game, Irving first steals Iguodala to complete the layup, and then hit Thompson backwards to complete the quasi-final shot, and one person scored four points in 40 seconds to reverse the game, making the Warriors seem to be back in the nightmare of the Finals. In that game, Irving scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 7 steals on 11-of-27 shooting, breaking the all-time record for the Christmas War.
Three-point shooting per game: Mills.
The 2021 Christmas game arranged for the Nets to play against the Lakers, and this game was supposed to have a lot of highlights, Durant, Irving vs James, and Wei Shao against the eldest brother and third brother, but there were many injuries on both sides, Durant, Irving didn't play due to injury, Bush also missed due to injury, Harden led the team to beat the Lakers, and he scored a triple-double in that game with 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists on 10-of-25 shooting, while Mills had a better hand, scoring 34 points on 8-of-13 three-pointers, breaking Ingram's record of seven three-pointers in a single game in the Christmas game set in 2019. However, in this era of three-point shooter blowouts, this record is also the most likely to be broken. It is worth mentioning that James scored 39 points in 14 of 25 in this game, which is also the highest single-game score in James' Christmas game.
Total appearances & total scores: James.
James is a regular visitor to the Christmas War, a total of 17 career participation in the Christmas War, ranking first in history, winning 10 wins and Wade tied for the first place, losing to the Nets in the 2021 Christmas War, but in the game, James's total score in the Christmas War surpassed Kobe Bryant to become the first in history, and his total score in the Christmas War has reached 460 points, 65 points higher than the second-place Kobe, and the highest total score among the current active players is Durant, ranked fifth, with a total score of 299 points. But James's record continues, as long as he is still in the Christmas game, his scoring record and appearances will continue to increase, and it is difficult for any player to surpass him in a short period of time.
