    In a post shared by @NBA on Instagram, celebrity cameos and quick predictions were used to push #NBAXmas energy as Christmas Day tip-off approached.

    The league’s approach is clear: Christmas games aren’t just television—they’re a full social media package designed to trend in real time.

    • NBA.com (website): “Cavaliers vs. Knicks Dec. 25: Noon ET | (ABC/ESPN).”
    • ESPN (website): “Five NBA games, three NFL games, one loaded Christmas Day slate…”

    Echotitbits take: This is the NBA treating celebrity and creator culture as viewership fuel. Watch which cameos trend, which picks get clipped into memes, and how broadcast highlight packages stitch social moments into the day’s narrative.

    According to People, a young Toronto Raptors fan went viral after an energetic jumbotron dance during a timeout in the Raptors–Knicks NBA Cup quarterfinal on December 9.

    The clip, shared across NBA social platforms, sparked a wave of wholesome reactions—proof that sometimes the best highlights come from the stands.

    Even with the Raptors taking a loss, the kid’s joy became the story fans carried out of the night.

    • NBA (Instagram): “This adorable @raptors fan steals the show with his dance moves on the big screen!”
    • Yahoo Sports (Canada): “A tiny Toronto Raptors fan has gone viral for busting some Jumbotron dance moves…”

    Analysis/Echotitbits take: This is ‘feel-good virality’ at its best—and leagues love it because it boosts community, ticket appeal, and family-friendly branding. Watch for the Raptors/NBA to bring the kid back for an in-arena cameo, merch moment, or social-media feature that extends the buzz.
