One of the last wishes of Kobe Bryant will be completed on the day you enter the Basketball Hall of Fame, Since Michael Jordan will be the one to exalt them with a speech that is expected to be emotional for others, such as the one he gave at the massive funeral given to the Lakers legend at the Staples Center in February 2020.
Kobe asked Jordan to take him to the Hall of Fame
As we all know, on January 26, 2020 died in a helicopter crash known as Black Mamba, Who in 2016 put an end to his career and at that time made public his desire that Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson gave the speech prior to their arrival at the NBA Enclosure of the Immortals.
“Kobe was like a little brother to me,” Jordan said after the devastating news of the death of Bryant, With whom he had a rivalry in grief over the Lakers player’s desire to overcome him, but always with an indestructible personal bond.
