Legendele nu se uită! Regretatul baschetbalist Kobe Bryant va fi inclus în Hall of Fame pe 15 mai, iar discursul de includere va fi pronunțat de nimeni altul decât Michael Jordan, un alt fost mare baschetbalist. Ceremonia urma să se desfășoarea anul trecut, însă a fost amânată cu un an. La evenimentul, care va avea loc la Uncasville, statul american Connecticut, vor participa 50 de membri ai Hall of Fame. Pe lângă Bryant, care a murit la începutul anului trecut într-un accident de elicopter, în lista gloriilor baschetului american, Hall of Fame vor fi incluși și alte staruri din NBA, Tim Duncan, cvintuplu campion cu San Antonio Spurs, şi Kevin Garnett, câştigătorul unui titlu cu Boston Celtics.
