Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett Headline 2020 Basketball Hall of Fame Class

Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett highlight the group of inductees voted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's 2020 class Saturday.

WNBA player Tamika Catchings, FIBA executive Patrick Baumann and coaches Eddie Sutton, Rudy Tomjanovich, Kim Mulkey and Barbara Stevens round out this year's class of inductees. Bryant, Duncan, Garnett and Catchings were first-time nominees. Finalists needed 18 of 24 votes from the Honors Committee to be elected into the Hall of Fame.

The late Bryant played solely for the Lakers during his 20-year career and brought five NBA titles to Los Angeles. The 18-time All-Star established himself as a Lakers legend and one of the top scorers in NBA history.
