Now the LA Metro has joined the Kobe Farewell Tour and announced that one of the stops, Pico Station, will temporarily be renamed “Kobe Station” in honor of Kobe's last game.

The formerly named Pico Station is within walking distance to Staples Center. Many fans on their way to Kobe's final game will be getting off at the stop, which even has its own sign.

The change is unlikely to cause much confusion as it will only be this way for 24 hours. Not to mention, pretty much everyone in L.A. knows what's happening tonight.
The game begins at 7:30pm PST, the same time the Golden State Warriors will take on the Memphis Grizzlies to reach the record 73 wins.
Quite a historic night for the NBA.
