Crypto.com
So 22 years after it opened for business in Los Angeles (and became the site for Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's first of three NBA titles in the City of Angels), STAPLES Center will receive a new name.
On December 25, the Lakers will take on the Brooklyn Nets at Crypto.com Arena...the new moniker for the iconic stadium under a $700 million deal made with AEG, the owner of the building.
On social media, I stated that I like the new name, but Crypto.com actually pissed me off earlier this year! Go to this link to learn why.
The advantage of the arena that's home to the NBA's most-storied franchise being named after an online crypto exchange is that it brings more mainstream awareness to cryptocurrency. It's only a matter of time that other sports stadiums (whether for the NBA, NFL or MLB) will change their monikers to Coinbase Arena or Shiba Inu Stadium or something!
Speaking of Shiba Inu, yes, I still invest in this token. I also purchased a ton of Saitama Inu coins as well. These two crypto are a bargain to buy right now since the cryptocurrency market is currently on a downtown. It will rise again!
Back on topic: Crypto.com Arena is a good name for the Lakers' stadium. People will most definitely refer to the building as "The Crypt"—which is apt considering the fact the current Lakers squad is mostly filled with a bunch of geezers past their prime. We'll see if LeBron James suits up for the game against the Boston Celtics tonight...
Happy Friday!
