The arena is known as Staples Center, but I think that the court, for ALL events played on it, should henceforth be named "Kobe Bryant Court."

There is ample precedence for this type of naming convention. As a University of Arizona alum, I recall fondly when the court at McKale Center was named after former coach Lute Olson.

For all that he has done for the Lakers organization and to put Staples Center on the map, I am proposing that the memory of Kobe Bean Bryant be honored by formally naming the court after the man who delivered more incredible moments on it than anyone else. And the name should apply to the court no matter what teams are playing on it (to avoid the other tenant from disrespecting the court as they do the retired jerseys).

Anyone with me?
