Farewell, you beautiful man. My sincerest condolences to the Bryant family, NBA fans, and Kobe’s friends. This is a tragic day, and I’m still in shock. Thank you Kobe for all your amazing talent and I’m proud of calling you an Oscar Winner.
I love how visibly excited Kobe was. His NBA career was judged by his physical performances. But there's an emotional vulnerability to writing a personal poem. Earning critical acclaim for it, is huge for him.
He always found a moment to highlight Gianna. Breaks my heart. One of the biggest losses for the world. Kobe was just getting started. I really began being his fan AFTER his retirement for his business skills and mentality.
Kobe was so giddy and happy excited RIP KOBE I been to see him play so many times at staples went to the 2000 parade you gave me so many memories even when I was out of state watching lakers win 2010 championship made me feel like i was home RIP MAMBA
Will Smith is an Amazing Actor doing great every time, and always in the making, Good for him, there are tons of talented Actors & Actresses who doesn't won an Oscar Yet Including the famous Harrison Ford & Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Samuel El Jackson Matt damon, even Brad Pitt got just today ,IN the other hand Some Unknown Korean Film makers Won an Oscar with their first attempt & with a movie Name Called "PARASITE " btw not only one but many, so with out enough info don't jump to judge people's okay🤪. Koby was very gifted willing to try many things as much as he could, & had a plan to do more, but his life cuts short sadly. Matter fact One of the things thst i don't understand in his acceptance speech, what the hell was saying ( in italian or Spanish not sure dont no why?? It wasn't necessarily at all. Rip anyway.
Dear Basketball is a beautiful short animation that I saw online today. It is so great to see Kobe so excited and thrilled! It's too bad that Glen Keane didn't get any questions since this was his first Oscar too, and just as special for him!
I believe Kobe when he says winning this Oscar is better than winning an NBA championship for him. I've never seen Kobe like this - ever. He's very giddy with nervous jitters, like a kid waiting for Christmas day.
Man I'm a back fan of Kobe and I can just how happy and excited he was to win that award he loves doing this as much as basketball he look like a lil kid trying to hold in his happy. The mamba just loves the challenge and the journey
As opposed to what? What’s wrong with being well spoken and articulate, why does the African American community have this stigma against anyone who isn’t being aggressive, ignorant, and ghetto?
This is absolutely priceless! Kobe was genuinely excited. I'm going to miss you Kobe R.I.P. Kobe & Gigi... Gone too soon. You were just starting to enjoy life 😔 You were both going to do big things! I hate that it had to end this way.
I will miss ALL the great and creative work that was yet to come! This man NEVER ceased to amaze me! LEGENDS NEVER DIE! KOBE BEAN BRYANT! #MambaForever!
Michael Green your link proves literally nothing other than the fact that he was never proven to have committed the crime. Dumb. And don’t be so ignorant you racist piece of trash.
That man got cheated out of so many rings/mvps in his nba career, this proves how much he loved basketball and never cheated the game. Just because of a rape case the nba destroyed his last chip years. Top 2 greatest players to play this game. NBA screwed up giving lebron the golden kid title. This man just opened up a new door for athletes to be future producers/directors. He belongs in the #1 top tiers of iconic athletes in the world. He is next to ali/jordan/phelps/serena.
Travis Blair The truth will set people free. Kobe got shitted all over by david stern/adam silver. The man never cheated the game he fought through every obstacle.
kobe is just crazy! others are working their entire life to get an oscar, he just does it in passing. well, another trophy to add to his collection 😄a truly inspiring guy, i might use him for future motivational videos.
I think Kobe is great but where's the love for Glen Keane?! Such a shame that they don't have much questions for a living legend in the animation industry. That guy is a part of many people's childhood.
What an incredible masterpiece by Glene Keane. This is so surprising that everyone is talking about Kobe, it's Glene's visualization which made it possible.
Krishnendu Bikash Maity , Actually the poem is where the story lies. It has heart and depth. All film, whether animated or live action, begins with a story.
@TexasGal I know story is important. but you are missing my point. I was saying that not even a single person asked Glene about his tremendous talent, direction and the animation he and his team did. You think only story matters? It was Glene's visualization which made this film to oscar. Or else it would have been just a TH-cam motivational video.
Kobe never gave up. He kept practicing practicing practicing. This is why Kobe is succesful in life and if you don’t start putting hard work,then u might be regretting ur decision.
Kobe, was never convicted of rape and grow up Americans. There are some folks, that have a strong opinion and actually believe that Kobe, should not receive an Oscar because of being accused of rape. Remember, Kobe never was convicted of rape. Once again, grow up Americans. Congratulation, Kobe and he without sin, cast the first stone.
Kobe the all time greatest ... 5 time champion, 2 time Olympic gold medal winner, and an Oscar winner... what more could you have asked from the GOAT... you’ll be missed KOBE thanks for the memories
No_Diggity_No_Doubt The Oscar lost most of its mystique over the past 7 years or so. They been giving that shit out like its halloween candy. There is no fucking way that winning an Oscar for a silly animated short film will EVER make up for those MVP titles that Kobe was robbed of. Athletes work and train so damn hard to achieve greatness and so much of what they do depends on being 100% physically at all times. Because of this, the window of opportunity is very small and gets smaller with each passing year. A 90 year old man can win an Oscar but you will never see someone over the age of 35 win an MVP in any sport.
RyN what?! Are you talking about that clearly was never the debate . You said anybody can get a ring and I said where’s your ring since anyone can get one ....lol you troll
At 41 he was just getting started. RIP
Farewell, you beautiful man. My sincerest condolences to the Bryant family, NBA fans, and Kobe’s friends. This is a tragic day, and I’m still in shock. Thank you Kobe for all your amazing talent and I’m proud of calling you an Oscar Winner.
We miss you But Vanessa needs you back ..please show her a sign that you are her guardian angels🙏💕💕🤘 rest in Paradise Kobe and Gigi.😅🙏👼💕💕
Damn I never seen kobe this flustered, glad he getting props
J hilly shut you devil, be gone
Da fuck does that have to do w this?
Hol M 😒
Hol M L
RIP my childhood hero. This still hurts.He looks so happy and giddy
It's always gonna hurt.
I love how visibly excited Kobe was. His NBA career was judged by his physical performances. But there's an emotional vulnerability to writing a personal poem. Earning critical acclaim for it, is huge for him.
It’s heartbreaking to see how genuinely excited and shooken up he was. It’s weird to see Kobe talk in that nervous tone. RIP MAMBA
Kobe really looking like a kid on christmas
lets be real, when lebron writes, all the top people will make it happen, lmao fuck em
FUNJECTION I was about to say the same.
So true😂
FUNJECTION he is
yup, cant think of a better sentence to describe it
He always found a moment to highlight Gianna. Breaks my heart. One of the biggest losses for the world. Kobe was just getting started. I really began being his fan AFTER his retirement for his business skills and mentality.
Man this breaks my heart. Kobe could’ve literally been the president if we wanted to! Goodbye legend🙏🏻
You can really see how much joy this brought to him. Love you Kobe. Been rocking with ya since 96' and I was only born in 95'.
Kobe was so giddy and happy excited RIP KOBE I been to see him play so many times at staples went to the 2000 parade you gave me so many memories even when I was out of state watching lakers win 2010 championship made me feel like i was home RIP MAMBA
He is like a kid again! I love it. Pray he keeps broadening his horizons

🤷🏾♂️

Samuel L Jackson has acted in at least 158 movies and until this year like Will Smith had not won an Oscar either. What's your point?
Will Smith as one Oscar’s
Dear Basketball is a beautiful short animation that I saw online today. It is so great to see Kobe so excited and thrilled! It's too bad that Glen Keane didn't get any questions since this was his first Oscar too, and just as special for him!
Wow I’m so happy for Glen Keane! What a legend!
Chloe W hahaaa WOMMMMMMMMP !!!!!!
5:15 look at how Kobe looks at his trophy he was so proud of himself
I've watched every game every highlight every interview of Kobe Bryant... I have never seem him so nervous or excited... I'm really happy for him
First time ever I see Kobe on his nerves never ever I have seem him that exited
Dariel Alvarez yes it’s a different site.
Kobe is great at everything he touches.
aside from women
He was a great family man. He cheated on his wife when he was 24. And learned from it.
I believe Kobe when he says winning this Oscar is better than winning an NBA championship for him. I've never seen Kobe like this - ever. He's very giddy with nervous jitters, like a kid waiting for Christmas day.
Wow. He already wrote 5 nobles? GOAT!
Man I'm a back fan of Kobe and I can just how happy and excited he was to win that award he loves doing this as much as basketball he look like a lil kid trying to hold in his happy. The mamba just loves the challenge and the journey
This boy went from winning NBA championship to winning Oscar. Kobe Bryant the actor hmm🤔🤔!!
Cherokee Tom stfu weirdo
XmoneyGirlsCandy he wrote it, not acted.
Cristian Seitz I know lol I mean I hope he goes into acting to!!
XmoneyGirlsCandy i love him
he's more of a storyteller. I wouldn't be surprised if this short film turns into a pixar film.
Kobe was GEEKING, love it.
As opposed to what? What’s wrong with being well spoken and articulate, why does the African American community have this stigma against anyone who isn’t being aggressive, ignorant, and ghetto?
@@markzucc1193 huh?
Rip to the legend and Oscar winner Kobe ❤️
Such a wonderful man & loving father crediting his Gigi 💛🙏🏼🌟 Rest in peace legend & Gianna 💕

ZSPN He'll Yeah👊☇
Michael Green your link proves literally nothing other than the fact that he was never proven to have committed the crime. Dumb. And don’t be so ignorant you racist piece of trash.
Michael Green you seriously need a hug lol. I also guarantee you won't say any of this in real life because you're a little keyboard warrior.
Goat? They didn't even mention Jordan.
he has so many knowledege and wisdom to be shared with younger generation
Kobe GOAT ....5 rings, 2 Olympic gold medals and now an Oscar ....
Even the greatest M.J dont have a oscar
That man got cheated out of so many rings/mvps in his nba career, this proves how much he loved basketball and never cheated the game. Just because of a rape case the nba destroyed his last chip years. Top 2 greatest players to play this game. NBA screwed up giving lebron the golden kid title.

ohhh yeahhh Absolutely! I totally agree!!!
Travis Blair
The truth will set people free. Kobe got shitted all over by david stern/adam silver. The man never cheated the game he fought through every obstacle.
what the fuck are u on about, the NBA helped the lakers all those years kobe was on the team. NBA fucking stole a championship from the kings in '02
sydandtaytum No. Missed FTs in game 7 cost the kings a championship.
Gabriel Quesnot nah a rigged game 6 caused the lakers to win
MJ: Yo Kobe how many rings you got?
Kobe: Yo MJ how many Oscars you got
Congratulations Kobe!!!
Ashish Wilson 😂😂
This breaks my heart forget everything he achieved and remember what a human being he is. RIP legend.
F ইসলাম Islam I truly believe he would have started producing oscar winning movies if he wasn’t taken so soon
Man so happy for him.... He look really happy and looked like a kid out there.... Dope kobe mentality is what inspires me.

Poor lil dude who won the Oscar w my boy Kobe... no one's asking him a thing

That artist is awesome. Happy for him
M Wow!!!! I had no idea! But I did feel bad he didn’t get a single question

kobe is just crazy! others are working their entire life to get an oscar, he just does it in passing. well, another trophy to add to his collection 😄a truly inspiring guy, i might use him for future motivational videos.
Well deserved Kobe !!! Congrats !!!
KKOOOOOOOOBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I think Kobe is great but where's the love for Glen Keane?! Such a shame that they don't have much questions for a living legend in the animation industry. That guy is a part of many people's childhood.
When I see Kobe speaking here, one word comes to mind, "ebullient." That's what that word means.
What an incredible masterpiece by Glene Keane. This is so surprising that everyone is talking about Kobe, it's Glene's visualization which made it possible.
Krishnendu Bikash Maity , Actually the poem is where the story lies. It has heart and depth. All film, whether animated or live action, begins with a story.

You think only story matters? It was Glene's visualization which made this film to oscar. Or else it would have been just a TH-cam motivational video.
Why you had to be the one?? Like really the dude dies and you still hating. Come on man!!
Don't hate man.
Kobe the goat
God Bless You Kobe & Gianna, RIP 🙏🙏
Never lost Big Bryant Brand
Congratulations my favorite NBA star.
This is pretty damn cool. Never seen Kobe this proud. Good for you man.
The first person to win an Olympic gold medal and an Oscar.
That's a fact! RIP mamba and gianna 🥀🙏🏾
Congrats kobe for wining best animated short movie as expected.And i was also hoping "LOU" to win.
The mamba strike again yeah 👍👍👍⭐️
Kobe is really a sophisticated man... talks like an educated man although he didn’t go to college
Depends on what high school.
2:00 He’s right about writing.
J S He's absolutely right
Kobe never gave up. He kept practicing practicing practicing. This is why Kobe is succesful in life and if you don’t start putting hard work,then u might be regretting ur decision.
Kobe stays winning on and off the court
i love his short film... he deserve it
I hated on kobe so much ,but always respected his skills.black mamba.i respect him even more now.what a intelligent and humble dude he is.
"You've got to quiet the ego" Kobe
The writing and art in the animation just shows how they got an Oscar! The animation is INCREDIBLE go watch it :P.
This is breaking my heart
Salute to Kobe Bean Bryant.
Legend Black Manba Make history the best awesome 🍾️🥂🏆
Congratulations Kobe
kobe is genuinely happy.
I would be too if I was a rapist and people chose to forget it.
Kobe is dat guy !!!!!! Always been my fav basketball player I'm sad to see him not play ball but aye my boy got a Oscar
Kobe, was never convicted of rape and grow up Americans. There are some folks, that have a strong opinion and actually believe that Kobe, should not receive an Oscar because of being accused of rape. Remember, Kobe never was convicted of rape. Once again, grow up Americans. Congratulation, Kobe and he without sin, cast the first stone.
This, today, feels bittersweet.
Kobe Bryant...YOU ARE THE AMERICAN DREAM!
R.I.P Kobe Bryant
A legend.....
5 rings AND an OSCAR ..Beat that MJ and LEBRON !!
Kobe the all time greatest ... 5 time champion, 2 time Olympic gold medal winner, and an Oscar winner... what more could you have asked from the GOAT... you’ll be missed KOBE thanks for the memories
This is AMAZING! Kobe is officially a jack of all trades 🤩
Kobe got robbed an MVP in 06. He should've been a 2 time MVP. Winning an Oscar replaces that lol. Congrats Mamba!! Forever the G.O.A.T!
Not just 06 but 04, 05, and 07. He could've been a 5 time NBA MVP
No_Diggity_No_Doubt
The Oscar lost most of its mystique over the past 7 years or so. They been giving that shit out like its halloween candy.

Sappy Man He’s innocent you Fucking dipshit.
Glacius you do know Tom brady won an mvp at 40 right and LeBron might have a chance to win not a good chance but a chance to win at 35
Lol what. Dirk or LeBron deserved the '06 MVP. If anything Kobe should have no MVPs because he robbed Chris Paul in 2008
#LakerNation go KOBE!!! I am proud of you!!!! #LakerNation Alumni do it big baby!
Now This, you don't see everyday 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
