Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame

UNCASVILLE, Conn.: The late Kobe Bryant was officially inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2020 on Saturday night.

The inductees of a group of nine got their delayed and long-awaited "enshrinement" on Saturday night, more than a year after being announced as the Hall’s Class of 2020.
