00:00 I'm Melissa Rowland with Sports Illustrated. Kobe Bryant has been named to the 2020
00:05 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class. It was inevitable that this
00:09 was gonna happen. Kobe was a five-time NBA champion over his 20 seasons with
00:14 the Lakers. He was a two-time Finals MVP and a one-time regular season MVP in
00:19 2008. Kobe tragically died in a helicopter crash on January 26 alongside
00:24 his 13 year old daughter Gianna and seven other people. Kobe will be
00:28 remembered as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He
00:32 inspired a generation of basketball players to come. He was known for his
00:35 tireless work ethic. He'd show up early to practices and he'd close out gyms. He
00:40 famously had a career-high 81 points and 62 points through three quarters. Kobe
00:45 will be remembered as one of the greatest basketball players forever.
