Russell Westbrook laughed as he suggested Staples Center will soon be called 'Crip Arena,' adding to the long list of nicknames for Crypto.com Arena.
“I didn’t know what you said. My bad,” Westbrook joked, still laughing. “I thought you said the Crip Arena.”
And now a variation of it can be added to the long list of nicknames for the building that O’Neal and Bryant made famous during their three-peat championship run with the Lakers, the building where “Big Shot Rob” Horry drilled one of his iconic winning three-point shots in the playoffs against the Sacramento Kings in 2002, the building in which Bryant dropped an amazing 81 points on the Toronto Raptors in 2006. The venue will be known as the Crypto.com Arena beginning on Dec. 25.
