The biggest moments in Staples Center history from the NBA, NHL, WNBA, UFC, boxing and more

Since it first opened its doors in 1999, Staples Center has played host to seven NBA Finals, five WNBA Finals, four UFC pay-per-view cards, two Stanley Cup Finals and countless championship boxing matches. It was the home of the Pac-12 men's basketball tournament for a decade and has seen multiple All-Star games in both the NHL and NBA played there. It's also the annual home to the Grammy Awards (much to the frustration of its sports tenants, who are forced to go on lengthy road trips every January). Over its 22 years of use, Staples Center has become one of the most iconic arenas in all of professional sports.
