Picture this: it's Christmas time, and you're eagerly awaiting the joy of opening presents under a beautifully decorated tree. But for Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis and his teammates, this holiday season is a bit different. They find themselves embarking on an extended visit to the bustling streets of New York City. And so, Portis admits that he didn't bother getting a Christmas tree for his home this year. Why? Because they'll be away, playing basketball and spreading cheer in the Big Apple.

Now, NBA players are no strangers to spending Christmas away from the comfort of their homes. It's become somewhat of a norm in their line of work. But let me tell you, no team has ever had a holiday trip quite like the one the Bucks are experiencing. They have not one, not two, but three consecutive road games in the New York metro area, with two of them falling right on Christmas Day. Talk about taking the show on the road!
