It’s been more than 20 years since the passing of the late Notorious B.I.G. His city, Brooklyn continues to keep his legacy alive today.
Brooklyn decided to honor the late legend by naming a basketball court after him. They held a “ribbon-cutting” ceremony on Wednesday morning at Crispus Attucks Playground in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. New York’s councilman, Robert Cornegey officially renamed the basketball court to “Christopher “Biggie” Wallace courts.”

Fun fact, Cornegey actually used to live in the same apartment building as Biggie. The councilman promised Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, he would honor his son’s legacy. Numerous people attended the ceremony, including Biggie’s mother, daughter Tyanna, and son C.J.
