“Dear Basketball” is an inspiring love letter to posterity, a timeless legacy from one of the greatest basketball players in history, Kobe Bryant.  
 
“Dear Basketball” is an extraordinary animated Oscar-winning short film - written, produced, and narrated by Kobe Bryant. Veteran animator Glen Keane directed the award-winning emotional short in 2018.

When the star of the L.A. Lakers thought about retirement in 2015, he wrote a heartfelt letter to his teammates, the players of the other teams, the world athletes, and his fans about his reasons for leaving the sport he loved much.
 
Kobe’s statement became a gorgeous animated short film where he expressed his love for basketball, his values in life, and how important it is to follow his dream.

The best way to say goodbye to the game he had loved all his life was by producing a high-quality animated short film and hiring the best people in the industry to do the job. 

The instrumentation of the short “Dear Basketball” is the responsibility of a five-time Oscar winner and 52-time Oscar-nominated music composer John Williams (“E.T.,” “Star Wars,” “Jaws”). Mr. Williams’s music is sublime.

Two historical facts: “Dear Basketball” is the first time a professional athlete wins an Oscar. Kobe Bryant became the first Afro-American to succeed in the best animated short film award category.

Now, the beautifully animated film takes more relevance after the tragic helicopter crash on a Sunday morning, January 26th, 2020, in Calabasas, Los Angeles County. 
 
Nowadays, the relevance of this highly motivational animation takes center stage, not only for Kobe’s passing but because the short film makes us feel good. Listening to the voice and hearing the challenges of one of the most prominent athletes in history is a treat.

The athlete’s legacy, humanitarianism, and the impact of his actions on the community and how worldwide felt at large.

My deepest condolences to the family, friends, and millions of fans worldwide. Kobe Bryant was an inspiring human being with a positive attitude, a spirit of constant improvement, and a determination to succeed.
