Five NBA Championship Rings, 3 time MVP, and now an Oscar.
Kobe Bryant, former Los Angeles Laker and one of the most famous basketball players in the world, retired from the sport he loved so much in 2016. In 2015 he wrote a letter called Dear Basketball announcing his retirement and describes basketball as QUOTE "A love so deep I gave you my all/From my mind & body/To my spirit & soul." Kobe then turned the poem into an animated short with the help of director Glen Keane who’s worked on movies like Aladdin and Beauty & the Beast. He was then nominated for an Oscar for the short and tonight the future hall of famer just won a golden statue.
Kobe accepted the Oscar alongside director Glen Keane and started off his speech by saying how meaningful it is for him just be nominated and then took a jab at reporter Laura Ingraham – a reporter who recently made a comment towards LeBron James – telling him to QUOTE “Shut up and Dribble” because he’s JUST an athlete.
Although many people were upset at the fact the Kobe Bryant was nominated in the first place, because he was accused of sexual assault back in 2003, others were excited for Kobe’s first Oscar like his former teammate Shaquille O’Neal. Shaw took to twitter to congratulate Mamba by saying QUOTE “Congrats to KOBE first Oscar that’s big bro #dearbasketball. Proud of you, Big honor for you and your family. I’m jealous lol while other fans pointed out the funny and obvious fact that QUOTE “Kobe Bryant has more Academy Awards than 5 time nominee Amy Adams AND Kobe Bryant has the same amount of Oscars as Leonardo DiCaprio!
Congrats to Kobe on his first Oscar ever, and now I can’t help but think LeBron James is now thinking he’s now got to get two more rings, and an Oscar now to catch up to Kobe.
