Art of the Game

Located at the Figueroa entrance of the Staples Center, this retail sports memorabilia and fine art store in a great place to visit before or after watching your Lakers, Clippers, or Kings home game.
I can literally spend a half hour in here, just admiring all the great artwork or remembering that once in a lifetime moment in LA sports history. If you notice all the other awesome photos inside the Staples Center, it’s probably sold by this business as well.
They have a bunch of autographed pieces on Laker days of old. Classic moments by Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and Laker legends of the past. The gentleman who helped me during my last visit was rather friendly and showed me some classic pictures of the Dodgers as well. Really cool stuff that definitely isn’t cheap. But, if you’re a hard core collector, it would be nice to have one of these great pieces in the game room or around the house.
If you also frequent Dodger Stadium — behind home plate, near the escalators on Field Level, you’re going to see additional Dodgers memorabilia for sale. This is also a location that the Art of the Game owns as well. I often see the same people between both locations.
If you’re an avid sports aficionado like me, this place is like the mecca of sports collectibles and photographs. I’d recommend checking it out sometime. Don’t forget to bring the kids too, like my nephew who was stuck on stupid with all the NBA basketball photos at this location.
