Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant leads the list of inductees(入选者) for this year's Sports Hall of Fame. Kobe died on January 26, 2020 at age 41 in a helicopter crash, along with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and 7 other passengers.

"He was the head of FIBA and this was a way to honor him," Hall of Fame chairman Jerry Colangelo said. "It was a special thing done through that committee."

All men's success is not accidental, even if you're Kobe. He insisted to get up at four thirty in the morning and throw into a thousand balls to the end and practiced to the point of exhaustion. A reporter once asked him why he was so successful, Kobe replied, "Do you know the way you lo at half past four in the morning in Los Angeles?" The reporter shook his head, "I know every day at half past four in the morning in Los Angeles," Kobe went on to say...

Kobe's death has been part of a jarring start of the year for basketball: NBA commissioner Emeritus David Stern died on Jan I, Kobe and his daughter Gianna were among nine who died in the accident in late January, and the NBA shut down on March 11 as the COVID-19 began to influence North America.

Within hours of his death on Sunday morning, his name was appearing suddenly on city buses and undergrounds, on the walls of streets, and in a thousand gifts left outside the downtown Staples Center in Los Angeles. City leaders, meanwhile, lit up public buildings in purple and gold, the colors of the Lakers, for whom Kobe played all 20 of his professional seasons.

As the days pass, it has become clear that this is no ordinary grief. Kobe, as everyone knew him, was a man who touched a great number of lives in many ways. He was a supporter for victims (受害者) of police violence (暴力), but he also gave away money to a children's fund. What's more, he set up a fund to develop youth sports both soccer and basketball. In Los Angeles, everyone is mourning (哀悼) Kobe Bryant in their way.
