To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the passing of The Notorious B.I.G., the Brooklyn Nets held "Biggie Night" throughout Sunday's game against the New York Knicks at the Barclays Center. In addition to hearing Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace, who revealed that she was attending her first-ever basketball game tonight, share a few words about her son prior to tip-off, Diddy spoke to the crowd during halftime with Lil' Kim, Faith Evans, and the Wallace family by his side.

During the halftime ceremony, the Barclays Center unveiled a banner to honor the life of The Notorious B.I.G.

The Biggie banner will hang in the Barclays Center forever as a permanent reminder of what the rapper meant to Brooklyn.
