Kobe Bryant did it all during his illustrious 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He won five NBA championships and was named Finals MVP in two of those runs, he led the league in scoring twice, made 15 All-NBA, 12 All-Defensive and 18 All-Star teams, and was voted the league MVP in 2008.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Bryant will be one of the 50 names on the star-studded ballot for the 2020 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class. This is Bryant’s first year being eligible for a Basketball Hall of Fame nomination and, coincidentally, his first nomination.
