By Ponciano Melo – A year after the tragic helicopter crash that cost the life of Kobe Bryant, he is now enshrined in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in class 2020.

In an emotional induction, Bryant became a first-ballot HOF, and the ceremony was led by his close friend and a brother, Michael Jordan. Vanessa, the wife of Kobe, received it on behalf of his late husband.

The crowd in attendance shouted the famous \”Kobe, Kobe, Kobe\” chant. This is commonly used by hoopers when shooting the basketball while holding. They are followed through.

\”Right now, I\’m sure he\’s laughing in heaven because I\’m about to praise him in public,\” Vanessa said.

\”There will never be anyone like Kobe,\” Vanessa Bryant said. \”Kobe was one of a kind. He was special. He was humble — off the court — but bigger than life,\” she added.

Bryant won the 2008 MVP, had five NBA championships, and played all his 21 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Along with Bryant, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan were also inducted into the Hall of Fame. Both big men had their respective speeches upon their culmination.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
