Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards will play Christmas Day games for the first time on Wednesday as the NBA delivers its 77th year of contests on the holiday. French centre Wembanyama, last season's NBA Rookie of the Year, will lead the San Antonio Spurs into New York to face the Knicks, who have the league's longest holiday history. The Knicks have played the most Christmas games of any NBA club at 56 entering this year, the first coming in 1947, the year the first NBA Christmas game was played. Wembanyama, a 20-year-old who stands 7-foot-3 (2.21m), averages 24.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 4.0 blocked shots a game for the Spurs, who return to the Christmas lineup for the first time in eight years. "Very excited just about spending Christmas in New York," Wembanyama said. "Going to be like the movies I hope, maybe get a little snow. "I'll approach it just like any other game. We've got to learn about their team, scout them and apply it for sure. I'm sure it's going to be special. I'm sure the league is going to make it something special that we're going to be able to feel." Edwards, a two-time NBA All-Star guard who helped the United States capture gold at the Paris Olympics, will try to spark the Minnesota Timberwolves on a holiday road trip to Dallas in a rematch of last season's Western Conference finals. "Ant-Man" leads the T-Wolves with 25.3 points a game and also has 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals a contest this season. The league's past three champions will also take the court on Wednesday with the defending champion Boston Celtics playing host to Philadelphia, the 2022 trophy-lifting Golden State Warriors playing host to the Los Angeles Lakers and the 2023 winner Denver Nuggets on the road at Phoenix. Lakers star LeBron James, who turns 40 next Monday, is the NBA career leader in points on Christmas with 476 in a record 18 games on December 25. He and former Miami teammate Dwyane Wade share the lead in wins by a player on Christmas with 10. The Lakers and Knicks share the NBA record for Christmas wins by a team with 24 for each. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Bernard King scoring 60 points, the highest NBA total on Christmas Day. Three other players -- Rick Barry, Wilt Chamberlain and Slovenian Luka Doncic -- have scored 50 or more in a game on the holiday. Dallas guard Doncic joined the club with a 50-point effort last year. The Lakers (16-13) and Golden State (15-13) are fighting for seventh in the Western Conference just ahead of San Antonio (15-14) and Minnesota and Phoenix, both 14-14. Dallas is fourth in the West at 19-10, just ahead of Denver 16-11. The Celtics are second in the Eastern Conference at 22-7, ahead of New York (19-10) while Philadelphia has struggled to a 10-17 start, 12th in the East. js/pbPutin says Russia attacked Ukraine with a new missile that he claims the West can't stop
( MENAFN - GetNews) As we advance towards the end of 2024 – a year marked by the acceleration of digitalization and changing consumer habits – we can look back at some emerging trends within the US entertainment industry. Most notably, there is a distinct decline of creativity as studios fall into the habit of producing sequels in lieu of generating new consumer content, while AI is playing an increasingly larger role, infiltrating into the fields of entertainment creation and content distribution. Lastly, online micro-series – an emerging niche market – has witness an explosion in 2024, with its revenue increasing dozens of times compared to that in 2023. Data indicates that in 2024, the US ranked first in both the download volume and application revenue of micro-series apps in both the global Apple and Android app stores. This trend is likely due to the great importance Americans attach to the consumption of sports, movies, and entertainment, among other items. In recent years, influenced by the growth of technological innovation and social media, there has been a trend of diversification and digitalization. It is within this context that micro-series have captured people's demand for instant entertainment in a modern fast-paced life, becoming a new industry benchmark. 2024 saw an unsuspecting dark horse in the US IOS app store - micro-series platform Dramabox, which has seen the success of multiple hit shows. Indeed, it seems Dramabox has already become a loved and recognized fixture by many within the American market, with the app often ranking in the top five within the free download charts of Apple IOS and Android Google Play app stores. If we take American consumers' preferences as the weathervane for future trends, its perhaps not a surprise that micro-series have also been warmly welcomed in other countries and regions. This global trend has led to the entertainment platform - Dramabox app, covering more than 200 countries and regions around the world as of October 2024. With more than 1,000 micro-series launched, a cumulative number of registered users reaching 90 million, monthly active users reaching 30 million, and both the global total daily active users and the total revenue ranking first in the field of micro-series, this is an impressive feat. Google Play's 'Best of 2024' list - selected by the Google Play Store Team and determined by the usage of users in various places - also confirms Dramabox's high-flying performance. In consolidating this success, Dramabox was recently awarded the 2024 Annual Best Entertainment App on Google Play in multiple countries.
