But the actual Hall in Springfield, Massachusetts, is also unveiling a special exhibit honoring Bryant that president John Doleva believes will be come the “most talked about” exhibit at the shrine. NBA icon Michael Jordan, who spoke movingly at Bryant's memorial service last year after the superstar was killed on January 26, 2020 in a helicopter crash, will honour Bryant at the induction ceremony, where those being enshrined are traditionally introduced by someone close to them.“Your greatest competition brings the best out of you,” said Duncan, who spent all of his 19 NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, winning five championships. “And that's what he always did.
“You can go through the list of NBA greats and I couldn't pick two better players, not just that, but two better people, to go into the Hall with,” said Garnett, who was drafted out of high school by the Minnesota Timberwolves.He spent more than 10 years in Minnesota, where he was left hungering for regular title chances before finally arriving in Boston in 2007 and claiming the only title of his career in 2008.
