Bryant’s stellar career speaks for itself. There was no doubt that as soon as he was going to retire, he would be inducted into the Hall of Fame. His 20-year career deserves to be honored and along with his impact on the community.
On her Instagram, she posted a picture of the jacket by Mitchell & Ness. Intricate details of the jacket are clearly visible, with Kobe’s iconic No. 24 and No. 8 sewn on both sides of the sleeves.
The Lakers‘ official logo is visible on the left-hand side. The color of the team, purple and gold, is lining the color and the bottom of the jacket.
The backside features the Bryant logo with the “Hall of Fame Class of 2020” written around an “M” that is in the center. The logo also has a few small Mamba snakes circling both his jersey numbers.

As per the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame CEO, John Doleva, “I had the opportunity to speak very briefly with Mrs. Bryant and she was very appreciative and very emotional. She has certainly indicated to be very involved. She and her family and others, in his enshrinement ceremony, when it happens.
“People are going to want to hear about Kobe personally, not just a vignette,” Doleva explained. “Whether that’s his wife or his teammates or a combination thereof.”
It looks like Vanessa’s request will be granted and for good reason. She and her family deserve to honor Kobe’s legacy on this big day.
