This is an absolutely loaded class, with none of those three selections coming as surprises.
Garnett finished his career as a 15-time All-Star and nine-time All-NBA selection, winning a title with the Boston Celtics in 2008.
Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash in January, is a five-time NBA champ who earned 15 All-NBA selections.
Duncan also is a five-time champion, and was named an All-Star and All-NBA selection 15 times in his career.
