NBA Rumors: 2020 Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony Could Be Postponed Amid The Coronavirus Pandemic

The 2020 class for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is one of the greatest of all-time.

Featured in it is Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, along with fellow greats Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, and also WNBA legend Tamika Catchings. These NBA, WNBA and basketball legends would normally be recognized in a weekend-long ceremony taking place Aug. 28-30, 2020.

However, amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, there is a chance gatherings of that size will not be allowed by the end of August. While many other large gatherings have been canceled outright, the Hall of Fame induction ceremony is not something that can simply be canceled or done virtually.
