On Saturday, the late Kobe Bryant will be enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and be inducted by none other than Michael Jordan. But before his speech, Jordan showed ESPN's Jackie MacMullan what his last texts were with Bryant before the deadly helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020, that killed Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and six others.
Jordan, who also spoke at the memorial service for Bryant at the Staples Center following his death, showed ESPN texts from Dec. 8, 2019.
“This tequila is awesome,” Kobe texted, referring to Jordan’s Cincoro Tequila, a bottle of which was sent to Bryant at the launch.
