It's just over two months since he passed away, and it still sounds weird to talk about Kobe Bryant as someone who is gone. The speech on the day of his retirement, with that famous ' Mamba out ', forced us to think that the day of his entry into the Basketball Hall of Fame he would give us the best phrases of his career, with his wife and daughters sitting at his side.

It will not be so.

Kobe Bryant will be in the Hall of Fame . The news is not a surprise, because we are talking about one of the best players of all time, but it does have a certain and sad grace that his name is added to the golden chairs of the sport so shortly after his hurried goodbye, victim, along with her daughter and another group of people, from a tragic helicopter accident.

The Los Angeles Lakers '8' and '24' will be part of one of the best classes in Hall of Fame history. He will share a start with Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett , two of the best interiors a basketball court has ever seen.

Let's remember, Bryant got the NBA Champion Ring five times , won an MVP, and was selected 18 times for the All-Star. In addition, he received honors for 15 seasons in the best quintet of the competition.

Duncan , like Kobe, also won five rings . He achieved two MVPs and was 15 times in the All-Star and in the best quintet in the league.

Garnett , meanwhile, earned a title with the Celtics and an MVP with the Timberwolves. He was 15 times in the All-Star and nine times in the best quintet of the year.

All three will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on August 29 in Springfield, Massachusetts. And they'll be joined by Tamika Catchings, 10-time All-Star Women's League, Baylor college coach, three-time NCAA champion Kim Mulkey; Bentley University coach Barbara Stevens, Eddie Sutton, named four times NCAA best coach; and former Houston Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich .
