The massive outpouring of emotions for Kobe Bryant's Hall of Fame induction proves just how widespread the star's impact was to the sport. Both superstar players and regular fans alike were just overjoyed watching the ceremony that honored the Los Angeles Lakers icon.

Watch below as Steph Curry looked all sorts of emotional reflecting on the Lakers star:

There was an amazing moment during the ceremony when Vanessa Bryant took to the podium. The unofficial first lady of the Los Angeles Lakers had a message for all of Kobe's haters and detractors, as they provided her husband with the fuel to thrive. However, with the tragic passing of Bryant, you'd be hard-pressed to find even a single naysayer.

“(Kobe) would thank all (his doubters) for helping him get here. After all, he proved you wrong,” Vanessa Bryant said.

There's a difference between sports hate and actual hate. While there were many who may not have liked Kobe Bryant for one reason or another, no true fan of the sport didn't have the utmost respect for him. His Lakers teams were some of the most memorable in NBA history, and his fandom is arguably second to none.

From the best players on the planet like Steph Curry, to the most casual of fans who caught mere glimpses of his greatness, there's nothing but respect for Kobe Bryant.
