There is no doubt that tears will be flowing at the ceremony that will take place this weekend. After all, it was recently announced that Bryant’s widow, Vanessa, will be speaking on his behalf at the ceremony.
The fact that Kobe Bryant is entering the Hall of Fame comes as no shock. The fact that he will not be present at the award is likely still difficult for many family and friends to grapple with.
While every induction ceremony is a celebration of the game of basketball. This year’s edition is sure to be filled with quite a bit more emotion.
