Jordan and Kobe had a special relationship on and off the court. Jordan called Bryant his ‘little brother’ in an emotional speech at the memorial service following Bryant’s tragic death.

“Kobe was my dear friend; he was like a little brother,” Jordan said in February 2020. “When Kobe died, a little piece of me died. …This kid had passion like you would never know. As I got to know him, I wanted to be the best big brother that I could be.”

The Hall of Fame said more than 50 HOFs are expected at the induction ceremony, including all presenters.
