Kobe won an Oscar
'as basketball players, we should have shut up and just dribbled. "I'm glad we can do more than that," Bryant said.
At the end of the 2015-16 season, Kobe officially retired, and before that, he wrote a touching poem called "Dear basketball". In this poem, we see Kobe's extraordinary writing ability.
When it comes to his writing level, Kobe Bryant once made such an interpretation. 'I always enjoy the process of writing. I have a good teacher who teaches me how to tell a story and write an article. When I came to the league, I always kept the habit of writing and practiced it repeatedly. I found pleasure in writing and thought about the distribution of each chapter and what should happen next. '
Soon, Kobe made the poem into a short animated film.
On December 5, 2017, the animated short film produced and dubbed by Bryant himself was officially nominated as the "Best Animated Short Film Award" of this Oscar. At the same time, four works including negative space, rebellious nursery rhyme, garden party and lost and found were nominated to participate in the competition. Finally, Kobe's "Dear basketball" won and won the Oscar Card award.
"People have been saying that as a basketball player, what people expect of you is your performance on the court," Bryant said in an interview, "that's all you know, all you have to do. Don't think about dealing with financial issues, don't think about getting involved in business, don't think about becoming a writer - it's fun. I've heard a lot of that. What do you want to do after retirement? & lsquo; I want to be a storyteller. &That's what those people know & lsquo; well, he can really succeed in things other than basketball. ’ '
