We just got to have fun and enjoy it \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChristmas Day should be fun. I think everybody is looking forward to that game. Like I said, it\u2019s my first time playing on Christmas Day. I\u2019m ready for my new uniform and I got some new shoes to go with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He was ready. \u00a0Young scored 20 points off the bench in his new gear and many of those points came off one-on-one plays against LeBron James. \u00a0James only scored 19 points and was 0-4 from downtown but did come away with the six point victory behind big games by Bosh and Wade and great shooting by Ray Allen, who was also not affected by the sleeves.<\/p>\n<h3>FLASHBACK: KOBE VS LEBRON ON CHRISTMAS 2009<\/h3>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;
