Dubai: Every sports fan knew Kobe Bryant the basketball player, but there was more to the man than a tremendous talent for his beloved sport.
Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash with his daughter on Sunday, also won an Oscar for ‘Dear Basketball’, a 2017 animated short film which he wrote and narrated, and was directed and animated by Glen Keane, with music by John Williams.
The emotional film is based on a letter Kobe Bryant wrote to The Players’ Tribune in 2015 to announce his retirement from basketball.
