Jingle Balls

Aside from spiked eggnog and socking shoppers in search of savings on Black (Eye) Friday, nothing puts us in the holiday spirit like a seasonal song, whether it's about an affair with an intruder or a reindeer with road rage. We don't what Kris Kringle list we're on this year, but we do know what's on our playlist: this catchy jingle. We're so infatuated with the instrumental that we find ourselves adding lyrics, like, "Oh, what fun it is to shoot in a five-hoop open gym" and "bells on Bobcats' tails ring."

Unless James Harden dyes his beard white and puts on a fat, not form-fitting red suit, this is the most yuletide thing you'll see NBA superstars do (Dionte Christmas dressing as Father Christmas and DeMarre Carroll singing carols don't count). The ditty is so pretty, it made us forget that one-third of the players participating in the merry music-making won't even be wearing a uniform - sleeved or otherwise - come the Christmas quintuple-header. Who knew dogs barking the tune could be topped*?

*Don't you dare say the ballad bashing Batman is better.
