This weekend will be a special one for Los Angeles Lakers and NBA fans with the late great Kobe Bryant being inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The 2020 class was a historic one as not only did it include Bryant, but also Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan, among others.
Perhaps no player had a bigger impact on the current generation than Bryant though after playing 20 seasons with the Lakers and winning five championships.
Current Lakers star Anthony Davis, who had a close relationship with Bryant dating back to their USA Basketball days, spoke to Bryant’s impact and legacy ahead of him being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
