All I want for Christmas is Derrick Rose, NBA

Yes, Virginia, there will be an NBA season after all. Signs point to the return of my beloved NBA by Christmas after a long labor dispute. And what a day that will be Dec. 25 with matchups that include the Celtics vs. Knicks, Lakers vs. Bulls and a rematch of last season’s finals series with the Heat vs. Mavericks. Many in the media have used this labor standoff to say they barely missed the NBA. I’m not one of them. I missed it and I seem lost in the sports landscape without it. No need to look under the tree for my Christmas present. That first spin move by Derrick Rose of Chicago will do just fine for me.
