In addition to Bryant, the five-time NBA champion Tim Duncan and NBA champion Kevin Garnett will enter the Hall of Fame.

The ceremonial inclusion in the Hall of Fame will be held from August 28 to 30 in Springfield.

The helicopter crash that killed 41-year-old Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven more people occurred on January 26 in the vicinity of Los Angeles.

Bryant played for the Lakers from 1996 to 2016 and won five NBA championship titles with the team. He is the leader of the club throughout history in terms of the number of matches played, points scored and interceptions completed.

Previously, former Zenit goalkeeper Kamil Chontofalski, who became a helicopter pilot, named the cause of Bryant’s death.
