Christmas has become a big day for NBA fans, who could've watched 13 straight hours of basketball after a morning of opening presents. It's also a huge day for sneaker fans as players tend to bust out special shoes for the big day. We collected our favorite looks from yesterday in this gallery of Christmas Day Sneakers. Just be careful not to stare directly into Nick Young's shoes.

Aaron Rodgers treated his offensive line and backup quarterbacks to a 55-inch Samsung TV ... Panthers defensive line coach Eric Washington helped a single mother of five whose house was robbed of all the gifts she had purchased for her kids ... Jayson Werth surprised the children of a fallen military member and taught them some baseball skills ... Kevin Love once received a stapler from his uncle, a member of the Beach Boys.
