It has been 15 months since Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash, but his Hall of Fame enshrinement was no less emotional.

His 75 receiving touchdowns rank 36th all-time among receivers. Bryant’s career isn’t… Source link

Chris Webber could very well be the most gifted power forward to ever play the position, a revolutionary with his myriad gifts and a sign the NBA was changing when he arrived in the mid-1990s. But his fingerprints haven’t been awarded with a Hall of Fame induction, at least not yet.
