In the wake of Kobe Bryant’s untimely death, let us remember one way in which he unequivocally topped Michael Jordan: leaving the Space Jam star in the dust to earn an Academy Award.
Bryant won an Oscar in 2018 for Dear Basketball, a five-minute short animated around a love letter to the sport he penned in announcing his retirement; in memory of his passing, the athlete’s own Granity Studio has posted the film in full.
Have a look above to see just what passion can inspire. In that way, it’s also in memory of passion. Remember being passionate about things? RIP, Kobe and passion.
