UNCASVILLE, Connecticut (AP) – Vanessa Bryant tom\u00f3 la mano de Michael Jordan y baj\u00f3 del escenario, un c\u00e1ntico familiar estall\u00f3 en toda la arena mientras regresaba a su asiento.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Kobe! \u00a1Kobe! \u00a1Kobe! \u00bb grit\u00f3 la multitud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con eso, fue, oficialmente, finalmente, miembro del Sal\u00f3n de la Fama del Baloncesto Naismith Memorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kobe Bryant est\u00e1 ahora en el Sal\u00f3n, junto con los contempor\u00e1neos Tim Duncan y Kevin Garnett, cabezas de cartel de un grupo de nueve que obtuvieron su consagraci\u00f3n retrasada y largamente esperada el s\u00e1bado por la noche, m\u00e1s de un a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s de ser anunciada como la Clase del Sal\u00f3n de 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abEn este momento, estoy segura de que se est\u00e1 riendo en el cielo, porque estoy a punto de elogiarlo en p\u00fablico\u00bb, dijo Vanessa Bryant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y lo hizo, su vestido morado a juego con el color tradicional de Los Angeles Lakers, coronando la noche dando el discurso que su esposo no estaba aqu\u00ed para pronunciar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abNunca habr\u00e1 nadie como Kobe\u00bb, dijo Vanessa Bryant. \u201cKobe fue \u00fanico en su clase. El era especial. Fue humilde, fuera de la cancha, pero m\u00e1s grande que la vida \u00ab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Bryant, Duncan y Garnett se unieron en la clase el entrenador tres veces campe\u00f3n de la NCAA, Kim Mulkey, el entrenador dos veces campe\u00f3n de la NBA Rudy Tomjanovich, la cuatro veces medallista de oro ol\u00edmpica Tamika Catchings, el tres veces entrenador de la Final Four Eddie Sutton, 1,000 juegos la ganadora Barbara Stevens y el veterano secretario general de la FIBA, Patrick Baumann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abTe aprecio\u00bb, le dijo Garnett a Duncan desde el escenario. \u00abEs un honor ir al pasillo contigo, hermano. T\u00fa y Kob \u00ab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duncan se mantuvo fiel a quien es: modesto y humilde, en un d\u00eda en el que su entrenador de los Spurs, Gregg Popovich, se perdi\u00f3 un partido para ver su consagraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abEste es el momento m\u00e1s nervioso que he estado en mi vida\u00bb, dijo Duncan al comenzar su discurso. \u201cPas\u00e9 las finales, el s\u00e9ptimo partido, este es oficialmente el m\u00e1s nervioso que he estado en mi vida. He estado paseando por mi habitaci\u00f3n todo el d\u00eda, as\u00ed que veamos qu\u00e9 conseguimos \u00ab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como de costumbre, entreg\u00f3 en el embrague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y los otros discursos no decepcionaron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Sal\u00f3n de la Fama tiene un reloj de cuenta regresiva de 10 minutos en el apuntador que los oradores usaron para ayudar con sus comentarios. Catchings pas\u00f3 por alto eso con facilidad, pasando varios minutos en un discurso emotivo que cubri\u00f3 sus muchos desaf\u00edos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEl baloncesto me eligi\u00f3 a m\u00ed, una marimacho torpe, larguirucha e introvertida, nacida con una discapacidad auditiva, un impedimento del habla y la voluntad de superar obst\u00e1culos, so\u00f1ar en grande y cambiar el mundo\u201d, dijo Catchings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mulkey habl\u00f3 sobre sus ra\u00edces, viniendo de una peque\u00f1a ciudad en Louisiana y llegando al Sal\u00f3n de la Fama, maravill\u00e1ndose de que Jordan, quien desempe\u00f1aba el mismo papel para Bryant, la presentara para la inducci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Bryant, Duncan y Garnett se unieron en la clase el entrenador tres veces campe\u00f3n de la NCAA, Kim Mulkey, el entrenador dos veces campe\u00f3n de la NBA Rudy Tomjanovich, la cuatro veces medallista de oro ol\u00edmpica Tamika Catchings, el tres veces entrenador de la Final Four Eddie Sutton, 1,000 juegos la ganadora Barbara Stevens y el veterano secretario general de la FIBA, Patrick Baumann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) \u2014<\/strong> Vanessa Bryant took Michael Jordan\u2019s hand and walked down from the stage, a familiar chant breaking out throughout the arena as she made her way back to her seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKobe! Kobe! Kobe!\u201d the crowd shouted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that, he was \u2014 officially, finally \u2014 a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kobe Bryant is in the Hall now, along with contemporaries Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, headliners of a group of nine who got their delayed and long-awaited enshrinement on Saturday night, more than a year after being announced as the Hall\u2019s Class of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight now, I\u2019m sure he\u2019s laughing in heaven, because I\u2019m about to praise him in public,\u201d Vanessa Bryant said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she did, her purple dress matching the traditional Los Angeles Lakers color, capping the night by giving the speech that her husband was not here to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere will never be anyone like Kobe,\u201d Vanessa Bryant said. \u201cKobe was one of a kind. He was special. He was humble \u2014 off the court \u2014 but bigger than life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryant, Duncan and Garnett were joined in the class by three-time NCAA champion coach Kim Mulkey, two-time NBA champion coach Rudy Tomjanovich, four-time Olympic gold medalist Tamika Catchings, three-time Final Four coach Eddie Sutton, 1,000-game winner Barbara Stevens and longtime FIBA secretary general Patrick Baumann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI appreciate you,\u201d Garnett said to Duncan from the stage. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to go into the hall with you, bro. You and Kob.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duncan stayed true to who he is: modest and humble, on a day where his Spurs coach, Gregg Popovich, missed a game to see his enshrinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the most nervous I\u2019ve ever been in my life,\u201d Duncan said as he began his speech. \u201cBeen through finals, Game 7\u2019s, this is officially the most nervous I\u2019ve ever been in my life. I\u2019ve been pacing in my room all day, so let\u2019s see what we get.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, he delivered in the clutch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the other speeches didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hall of Fame has a 10-minute countdown clock on the prompter that speakers used to assist with their remarks. Catchings blew past that with ease, going several minutes past in an emotional address that covered her many challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBasketball chose me, an awkward, lanky, introverted tomboy, born with a hearing disability, a speech impediment, and a will to overcome obstacles, dream big and to change the world,\u201d Catchings said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mulkey talked about her roots, coming from a small town in Louisiana and getting to the Hall of Fame \u2014 marveling that she was presented for induction by Jordan, who held the same role for Bryant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryant, Duncan and Garnett were joined in the class by three-time NCAA champion coach Kim Mulkey, two-time NBA champion coach Rudy Tomjanovich, four-time Olympic gold medalist Tamika Catchings, three-time Final Four coach Eddie Sutton, 1,000-game winner Barbara Stevens and longtime FIBA secretary general Patrick Baumann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
