The lockout, of course, means no Christmas Day NBA action on NBC. At 8 p.m., in place of Knicks-Bulls, the network will air the classic It's a Wonderful Life, a tale of a coldhearted old miser who attempts to scrooge into submission a strapped business foe, one who earns less than $272,250 per season. Hmmm. At 8:30 TNT will counter with what should be required viewing for the Davids Stern and Falk, Billy Hunter, et al.: How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
