New York Fans Thank Me, Jordan Curses Again!

Thirty-nine years later, the Los Angeles Lakers once again set a new record for the largest margin of victory in a Christmas Day game, brutally nailing Dwight Howard's Orlando Magic to the pillar of shame.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ze hauled in a staggering 38 rebounds, breaking the ancient beast—Wilt Chamberlain's—single-game record of 36 rebounds.

The single-game records for Christmas Day games.

Rebounds!

Points!

Steals!

Blocks!

Three-pointers made!

Other than assists, Zhou Ze had claimed them all.

Howard stormed off after the game without an ounce of grace, not even exchanging hugs or greetings with Zhou Ze and the others.

Second, as the league's runner-up GOAT in rebounding this season, Zhou Ze had grabbed 38 rebounds while he himself had a pitiful 4—not even a fraction of Zhou Ze's total.

Finally, in terms of scoring, Zhou Ze had casually put up 36 points that night, while he himself had managed a pathetic 6.

Oh...

And beyond all that, Zhou Ze had thoroughly overwhelmed him in steals and blocks as well.

Of course...

Howard had not been completely "useless" that night. In personal turnovers, Howard led the entire game with 9, while Zhou Ze had only 2—both caused by careless passes.
