  • Kobe Bryant, the late NBA legend, will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame next May.

    The induction ceremony was originally scheduled for August at Springfield, Massachusetts, but has been rescheduled to May 13-15, 2021, due to the sweeping impact of COVID-19.

    The announcement was made by NBA officials on Saturday.

    Notably, he'll be joined by other top players in that ceremony.
