Vanessa Bryant gave an emotional speech in honor of Kobe Bryant getting inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Other celebs were in attendance, including Michael Jordan, Ciara, Russell Wilson, and LaLa Anthony. During her speech, she thanked Kobe, people who supported Kobe throughout his career, and she thanked his parents for raising him. Vanessa said in the speech, "There will never be anyone like Kobe. Kobe was one of a kind. He was special; he was humble off the court but bigger than life. To all of our close friends and family that have been present for my girls and I, thank you." She added, "Thank you for being the Mickey to my Minnie, the Noah to my Allie. Thank you for loving me enough to last lifetimes, and every lifetime I choose you."
Kobe Bryant was undoubtedly one of the greatest to ever step on the court. The tragic helicopter crash that took his life, his daughter Gianna's, and 8 others will forever be in the minds and hearts of the families affected and fans of the Laker great. After the powerful speech Vanessa gave (with Michael Jordan by her side), fans took to Twitter to show their support.
