Thu Dec 26 00:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Curry’s Christmas Curse: NBA Superstar Struggles on December 25th

**Los Angeles, CA** – Despite a legendary NBA career boasting four championships, two MVP awards, and countless accolades, Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry has a surprising weakness: Christmas Day games. Ahead of his 11th Christmas Day game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, Curry’s holiday record reveals a consistent underperformance.

In his ten previous Christmas appearances, Curry has compiled a disappointing 4-6 record. While he’s contributed in assists, rebounds, and steals, his scoring average plummets to 15.6 points per game – significantly below his career average of 24.7. His shooting percentages on Christmas are abysmal, with a 31.7% field goal percentage and a dismal 23.1% from three-point range, a stark contrast to his career averages of 47.2% and 42.5% respectively.

Only once has Curry exceeded 20 points on Christmas, a 33-point performance against the Phoenix Suns in 2021, though even that game saw him shoot poorly from the field. His Christmas Day matchups against LeBron James have been particularly unkind, with Curry consistently underperforming in their four previous holiday encounters.

With the Warriors consistently featuring in Christmas Day games, and Curry’s continued popularity, the NBA is likely to continue scheduling the team for the holiday. However, until Curry can break his Christmas Day slump, the holiday will remain a point of frustration for the otherwise exceptional player.
