Cryptic Change

Business aside, for some it will remain a mystery why Staples Center will morph into Crypto.com Arena.  And on Christmas Day, no less.

That won’t be so merry for the likes of NBA players who grew up with Staples.  Paul George recently complained, “It’s kind of like stripping the history here…”  Reggie Jackson concurred, “It’s gonna be hard to not call it Staples.”

Russell Westbrook, always the philosopher, had some wise advice, “Regardless of the name, the building is still the building…”  

Kind of like, “A rose by any other name…”

Remember: The menu is not the food.  Call it what you will, this stadium bristles with the energy of great passion plus steadfast discipline.
