The Orlando Magic coach says he feels "sorry for people who have nothing to do on Christmas Day other than watch an NBA game."
The Magic were playing Boston on Friday, one of five NBA games on Christmas.
Van Gundy said before the game he understands the high-priced TV contracts generate money for the league and it would be difficult to stop such games. He said at the very least he wishes the league had fewer games on the holidays.
The Magic play games on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day this season.
Van Gundy said "we get a little carried away with ourselves with sports thinking we're more important than everything else."
