    If fans are this upset about the name change they should have bought more **** at Staples and kept the company from bankruptcy

    Lakers is the most memeable team.

    Man, if even the Lakers are getting a crappy name like “Crypto.com”, what is Tilman gonna come up with, something like “PonziCoin.com”?

    Credit Karma is bad enough, but at least it feels temporary.

    Crypto.com does sound pretty lame. Still better than the Smoothie King Arena.

    Is it though? At least a smoothie is something tangible I can drink. Not some scammy fad. Cheapens the image of the NBA. Silver should enforce some standards on this stuff.

    Finally catching up on this thread. You guys sound like a bunch of boomers. Better get used to crypto heavily marketing to sports fans.

    FTX and now Crypto.com...Coinbase, Gemini and BlockFi are probably next to lock in opportunities to promote their brands.
