‘Kobe Bryant to be inducted into Hall of Fame in 2020 class’

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame has honored many NBA greats, and in August they’ll enshrine someone that was gone far, far too soon. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Kobe Bryant will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of its 2020 class.

Bryant was part of the 2020 class of nominees that was announced in December, which includes Muggsy Bogues, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Tim Hardaway. In light of Bryant’s death, the Hall of Fame is bypassing the normal election process and making him the first inductee of the 2020 class.

The rest of this year’s Hall of Fame class will be announced in early April. […] Liz Roscher, writer at Yahoo Sports, Jan. 27, 2020

NY Post
The remaining three people aboard the chopper in Sunday’s fiery California crash were identified as pilot Ara Zobayan and mother-and-daughter Sarah and Payton Chester.

Zobayan was an experienced flyer who “taught aspiring heli pilots to fly and was very much loved in the aviation community,” KTLA’s Christina Pascucci, who is also a licensed pilot, said on Twitter.

Zobayan was “instrument rated,” Pascucci said, meaning that he “was rated to fly in fog/clouds” — the conditions that plagued Sunday’s flight.

Wow. Upon first hearing the news yesterday afternoon, I immediately called my nephew to check on him. He’s 28….and Kobe is to him what Jordan was to my brother (now deceased). My nephew grew up watching Kobe play and because of Kobe my nephew bleeds purple and gold. This news hit him hard.

Though, I wasn’t a “fan” of Kobe, the basketball player, I respected his *game* and work ethics. But most importantly to me, Kobe was a *dad* in the truest sense of of the word, So too is my nephew, a great dad.

BD pretty much summed up my feelings:

[This is devastating news especially his little daughter died with him. They said the weather was so bad it makes no sense why this helicopter was flying in that mess at all. I am feeling a lot of sadness today for Vanessa Bryant who loss her husband and her little girl. May Kobe Gigi and the rest of the people who died RIP.]

I am on my way to the airport this morning so let me make this quick. I knew DJ was going to have this story today. Let me say I am a fan of all sports but basketball is what I played in school and what I watch all the time. I grew up on the game of Michael Jordan plus I am old enough to remember when Kobe came into the game and won all those championships with Shaq. This is devastating news especially his little daughter died with him. They said the weather was so bad it makes no sense why this helicopter was flying in that mess at all. I am feeling a lot of sadness today for Vanessa Bryant who loss her husband and her little girl. May Kobe Gigi and the rest of the people who died RIP.
