We'll make this a short and sweet intro since you can't wait to dive into tons of photos of everything that was worn on court during yesterday's five Christmas Day matchups.

Whether it was Rajon Rondo's headlining HyperPosites, Dwyane Wade's dual Way of Wade looks or Lamar Odom's HyperDisrupter debut, we've got you covered ahead.

There's tons to see from each game, though unfortunately, the Bulls / Rockets game was just as painful on the sneaker front as it was to watch. We saw only two Christmas models show up -- the Lunar Hyperdunk and Lunar Hypergamer Low -- so be sure to check out what Santa was rocking in Chicago as a bonus. 

Get on with it and check through a game-by-game breakdown of what nearly each notable player throughout the league wore yesterday, and be sure to let us know which pairs you liked most in the comments section below.

Those 18 PE's Ray Allen got are crazy
Tyson Chandlers socks though
I really like the dark green and red on those KDVs. Not my favorite model, but the colors look like the best in this line-up.
