On Wednesday, Kobe Bryant will play his final game in the NBA. Fans, players and other teams have done a host of things to honor the end of Bryant’s career. Even the LA Metro is partaking as it will temporarily rename a stop the “Kobe Station” for the day.

The stop, formerly the Pico Station, will be named after Kobe for 24 hours. The time frame is likely to avoid mass confusion with a temporary name change, but it also serves as a tribute to Bryant’s No. 24. The stop is a short walk to the Staples Center, so many fans attending the game will stop at the Kobe before going to watch Kobe one final time.
There is even a sign for it and everything.
