Mamba Forever, Hall of Famer Forever

Today, Kobe Bryant entered the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame, to be eternalized as one of the best basketball players to have ever played the game. He became what he had hoped he would, “A player that didn’t waste a moment, didn’t waste a day.”

Kobe is a part of the 2020 class of inductees including Patrick Baumann, Tamika Catchings, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Kim Mulkey, Barbara Stevens, Eddie Sutton, and Rudy Tomjanovich.

In his tireless quest to always become “better today than [he] was yesterday,” his enshrinement is proof; Kobe will never stop achieving.
