Brooklyn Nets wanted to honor his memory, with a special night, hosted by P. Diddy, friend and manager of Biggie. It was retired a jersey with number 72 and exposed a permanent banner in the arena. It was the first case of a similar honor in NBA for a rapper, “an incredible honor”, as DJ Enuff, Biggie historical DJ said.
Volette Wallace, Lil Kim and Faith Evans also attended the ceremony, as the entire Biggie’s family.
“And if you don’t know, now you know”.
