Glen Keane's "Dear Basketball" is Kobe Bryant's ode to passion. It's based on a letter that Bryant wrote detailing his retirement from the game and looking at how he first got into the game. Without a doubt, Kobe Bryant knew where his passion and talent were.
Now for the unpleasant part. In 2003, sexual harassment charges against Bryant arose. The 90th Academy Awards were supposed to address sexual harassment in the wake of the Me Too movement...and Kobe Bryant STILL won an Oscar! (for the record, Glenn Close still doesn't have one). Criminy!
On its own, the short is worth seeing, understanding that the man behind it is a creep.
