Fans Are Saying Same Thing as NBA Honors Dwight Howard & Carmelo Anthony Amid Special Kobe Bryant Tribute

The first hotdog is out of the kitchen! The NBA All-Star weekend is officially underway, and we have the first major update. Early on Friday evening, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame took center stage and announced the finalists for the 2025 HoF honor. Denver Nuggets legend Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, and WNBA legend Sue Bird headlined the list. Above all, the list also delivered a special tribute to Kobe Bryant & his key allies from 2008.

You might have guessed it, right? Yes, Team USA that stormed the Beijing Olympics was also included in the final list. Hopefully, they make it and we may get to see them all on one stage later in the year. Most importantly, the fans can’t keep calm.

Here are some reactions from the fans:
