Diddy, Faith Evans, and Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace are present as the Nets retire Biggie's number.

The Brooklyn Nets held "Biggie Night" during tonight's game against the New York Knicks as a part of the ongoing remembrance of the 20th anniversary of Notorious B.I.G.'s death.

Diddy, Faith Evans, Voletta Wallace, his children, and other important figures in Biggie's life took the court at halftime to retire his #72 number to the rafters at Barclays Center. Diddy and Wallace said a few words to the crowd, then they watched as the banner rose to its permanent resting place. 

"Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way," the banner reads.

Check out highlights from the ceremony below.
