No one represented L.A. more than Nipsey Hussle. If Taylor Swift has a banner at Staples Center, he should have one too, argues columnist ArashMarkazi.
As Los Angeles mourned the loss of one of its own I couldn’t help but look up at the rafters at Staples Center and imagine what Hussle would have thought of his life being celebrated under the championship banners and retired jerseys of the Lakers. No one represented L.A. more than Hussle and he occasionally sat courtside at Lakers games wearing the retired jerseys of Magic Johnson and Wilt Chamberlain.
Looking at the banners and jerseys of the players and teams that have given this city so much, it was hard to ignore Taylor Swift’s banner, commemorating her 16 sold-out shows at Staples Center. I never thought she deserved a banner. I’ve always felt that honor should be reserved for the teams and players that call Staples Center home. But for the first time, during Hussle’s memorial, I didn’t mind it. Her banner perhaps opens the door for other artists to be similarly recognized.
I don’t know what it would look like, but if it were anything like the handmade banners made by LAFC fans at Banc of California Stadium on Saturday, or the murals of Hussle that have been painted around the city, it would be something everyone in L.A. could be proud of.The Los Angeles Stadium at Hollywood Park on Monday completed the outer shell of the canopy that will sit above the stadium bowl and performance venue.
