Biggie’s legacy will forever live on in Brooklyn.
A basketball court at Crispus Attucks Playground on Fulton St. and Classon Ave. in Bedford Stuyvesant will be named after the late Brooklyn rapper, Notorious B.I.G., real name Christopher Wallace, City Councilman Robert Cornegy confirms.
Cornegy has been trying to honor the rapper for years and has announced the ribbon cutting will officially happen next month.
“This honor is very personal to me,” Cornegy told the NY Daily News. “Twenty years later, this comes full circle, this renaming of the basketball courts in his honor.”
Biggie used to play basketball at this same court and every year a tournament is held in his honor. The unveiling of the new court’s name will happen on August 1 or August 2, ahead of the annual tournament to take place on August 5.

Cornegy, who lived in the same Brooklyn building as Biggie when they were growing up, made a promise to the rapper’s mother, Voletta Wallace, that he would keep Biggie’s name alive in the borough.
“We lived in the same building at 226 St. James Place in Brooklyn,” Cornegy said. “We lived in 1R and Biggie and his mother lived in 3R. So when he passed his mother made me her director. I promised to keep his name honored.”
Back in 2013, Cornegy fought to get St. James Place co-named after Wallace, but ran into residents who opposed due to Biggie’s violent lyrical content.
