KOBE BRYANT, INILUKLOK SA NAISMITH HALL OF FAME

Idinaos ang posthumous induction kay Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Kung saan, iniluklok siya sa Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Bukod kay Kobe, nasama rin sa hall of fame sina NBA greats Tim Duncan at Kevin Garnett. Ang tatlo ay member ng 2020 Hall of Fame class.

Kung saan naundlot ang pagkakaluklok sa kanila noong nakaraang taon dahil sa pandemic. Idinaos ang okasyon sa Mohegan Sun Arena sa Connecticut.

May ilalabas ding exhibit sa Hall sa Springfield, Massachusetts na nagbibigay pugay kay Bryant.

“The family had a time to think about what they wanted to do,” ani John Doleva sa pre-induction news conference.

“It’s about Kobe’s accomplishments but also about what Kobe was after he left the Lakers, after he left basketball.”

Si NBA legend Michael Jordan ang nagpresenta ng induction kay Kobe.

“Your greatest competition brings the best out of you,” saad ni Duncan, na gumugol ng 19 NBA seasons sa San Antonio Spurs at nakasungkit ng five championships.

“And that’s what he always did,” aniya.
