After a lengthy postponement due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame class was officially enshrined in an emotional day for all involved.
In a class packed with some of the most elite players and coaches in basketball history, the event concluded with Vanessa Bryant delivering Kobe Bryant’s enshrinement speech, with Michael Jordan presenting the Los Angeles Lakers legend.
Vanessa embodied strength in her heartfelt speech, encapsulating some of Bryant’s best anecdotes as a Laker both on and off the court, including stories about how he wouldn’t want to miss games for the fans even though he was injured and much more.
