Kobe Bryant is now, officially, a Hall of Famer
Kobe Bryant's résumé has yet another entry to prove his greatness: He's now, officially, a Hall of Famer.
They were the eight finalists who were announced in February, and the panel of 24 voters who were tasked to decide who merited selection wound up choosing them all. Also headed to the Hall this year: former FIBA Secretary General Patrick Baumann, selected as a direct-elect by the international committee.
"Obviously, we wish that he was here with us to celebrate," Vanessa Bryant, Kobe's wife, said on the ESPN broadcast of the class announcement. "But it's definitely the peak of his NBA career and every accomplishment that he had as an athlete was a stepping stone to be here. So we're incredibly proud of him."
Catchings was a 10-time WNBA All-Star and four-time Olympic gold medalist. Tomjanovich, who had overwhelming support from NBA peers who couldn't understand why it took so long for his selection, was a five-time All-Star as a player, guided the Houston Rockets to back-to-back titles and took the 2000 U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal.
