Watch Vanessa Bryant’s Hall of Fame speech on behalf of her late husband Kobe

The long-awaited 2020 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame may be one of the best in the sport’s history, featuring NBA legends like Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, a WNBA great in Tamika Catchings, and a stellar list of coaches, including Rudy Tomjanovich, Eddie Sutton, and Barbara Stevens. But the night will most likely be remembered, most clearly, for Vanessa Bryant’s speech, which she gave on behalf of her late husband, Kobe Bryant, the longtime Los Angeles Lakers star and five-time NBA champion who was killed last year in a helicopter crash alongside his teenage daughter, Gianna, and seven others. “All of your hard work and sacrifices paid off,” Vanessa Bryant, who was accompanied on stage by her husband’s hero and mentor, Michael Jordan, said at the close of her speech, speaking to her husband. “You once told me, ‘If you’re going to bet on someone, bet on yourself.’ I’m glad you bet on yourself, you overachiever. You did it. You’re in the Hall of Fame now. You’re a true champ. You’re not just an MVP, you’re an all-time great.” Watch the full speech below.
