Ho, Ho, Hoops! Check out this holiday video from our friends at The Kicker set to prime any and all NBA fans, naughty and nice, for Christmas basketball:

The five-game Christmas slate features some exciting matchups including a NBA Finals rematch when the Cavaliers visit the Warriors (5 p.m. ET).

Actor/writer Rob King, who may or may not be Tony Parker's long-lost relative, narrates. Naturally, Kobe is the Grinch and Tim Duncan is Santa Claus.

"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Dwight."
