What’s Your Holiday Play Style? Take the Heart & Grit Quiz!

For me, this time of year has always been about more than gifts. It’s about giving back, spending time with family, and finding those moments that matter most. But let’s be real—sometimes it feels like a full-court press with all the shopping, decorating, and last-minute plays.

A core holiday memory for me is going to my grandma’s house in the morning and then heading to my house later in the evening. Both gatherings were all about good food and family time. We’d play a couple of games—maybe a word search or a White Elephant exchange—but the main thing was just being together without an agenda. These days, with busy schedules, we don’t get the whole family together as often, so those moments mean even more now.

Basketball has always made holidays a little different for me. We’ve had Thanksgiving dinners in hotels and Christmas meals on the road. On one hand, that’s tough—but on the flip side, it’s created new traditions and adventures every year. It reminds me what the holidays are really about: spending time with loved ones, doing fun things together, and creating memories that last.

That’s why we thought it would be fun to figure out what kind of holiday player you are. Are you the Heart Hero, leading with kindness and giving? Or maybe the Grit Grinder, powering through the hustle like a champ. Maybe you’re the Joy Jumper, bringing energy and fun to every gathering. Or the Chill Champ, keeping calm when the shot clock is ticking. And hey, if you’re the Holiday Competitor, you’re probably going for the biggest tree and brightest lights. Or maybe you’re the Last-Minute Maverick, hitting buzzer-beater gift runs on Christmas Eve.
