While playing the role of Santa Claus in the New York boroughs of Bronx, Manhattan and Queens this week, New York Knicks forward Julius Randle is giving Christmas gifts to underserved children who may not have been getting a present otherwise. The two-time NBA All-Star was also one of those less fortunate kids growing up while being raised by a single mother in Dallas. “I think about how fortunate and blessed we are,” Randle told Andscape recently. “The way I grew up, there really wasn’t any presents under the tree. My present was my family. It was tough. It was tough. My mom worked her ass off and provided as much as she could. “But me being the man of the house at an early age, I never wanted to put that pressure on her. I’m in a position where I’m blessed and fortunate, so I can give back.”

And if Santa said, "Sorry, dude, I don't do miracles"? Porzingis: [Laughs] Then I'd ask Santa to change my hair on NBA 2K. It's pretty ugly. I understand I don't have the greatest hair, but on 2K it looks terrible. Santa, please make them fix it!
