Kobe Bryant has been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in what was a highly emotional moment, commemorating the legend’s contributions to the game and the deep reverence held among peers and fans.

Byrant and his daughter, Gianna, along with seven others, were killed in a helicopter crash in California in January 2020. News of the death of the Los Angeles Lakers’ icon shocked and devastated fans around the globe.

Bryant’s introduction into hall of fame enshrinement was presented by living-legend and dear friend, Michael Jordan.

Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, delivered the acceptance speech.

Vanessa says she used to always avoid praising her husband in public because she felt like he got enough praise from his fans around the world, and someone had to bring him back to reality.

She says her husband and Gianna deserved to be there to witness this.
