BREAKING: Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett Officially Voted Into Hall Of Fame

Bitter sweet news came down on saturday when it was announced that Kobe Bryant was a 1st ballot hall of famer.

He was one of the greatest competitors who stepped on the court and made sure his impact was felt on both sides of the ball. He is ranked 4th on the NBA’s career points list (33,643). We congratulate posthumously 5x NBA Champion Kobe Bryant. #20HoopClass pic.twitter.com/dw9WOlt1Gj

Alongside him the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2020 includes Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett.

As we already know, we won’t be getting an epic Kobe Bryant speech after he, his 13-year-old daughter, and seven others tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash on a hillside in Calabasas, California on January 26th.
