Hello everyone, I'm Ganghang
On March 6, Beijing time, Kobe's eldest daughter Natalia updated her personal Instagram, posted a dynamic, and posted a photo of her father Kobe Bryant to commemorate her father winning the Oscar three years ago.
It was a message I had inadvertently seen, but after seeing it, I suddenly remembered the animated short film "Dear Basketball" that recorded Kobe's dearest basketball.
Bryant's acceptance speech
Speaking of this "Dear Basketball" thoughts can't help but go back to 2015, in 2015 Kobe Bryant wrote a long letter, also considered to be Kobe Bryant's retirement statement, he put this article on his social network, this long letter left a deep impression on everyone, but at that time, no one thought that it would eventually be made into an animated short film.
Bryant himself served as the writer and producer of the film, and it was Disney's well-known veteran artist Glenn Keane who painted him, and to be honest, I really thank Kobe Bryant for making this animated short film for himself at that time, because no one would have expected that two years later, in January, Bryant would say goodbye to the world with his second daughter.
Bryant won the Academy Award for Animated Short Film
"Dear basketball, when I was young, I rolled up my father's straight socks and imagined myself in the Great Western Forum Arena, throwing a winning goal, and at that moment, I knew one thing clearly, I fell in love with you, and this love made me give everything, from my mind and body to my spirit and soul." 」 This is the first paragraph in the short film, but also the beginning of the story of Kobe Bryant and basketball, he gave everything for basketball, he went through all kinds of tribulations, experienced countless hardships, to reach the final achievement, however, there are too many reluctance can not stop the growth of age, people will eventually become old, in Kobe's words in the short film, my spirit can still persist, but the body has not allowed.

Today, he is far away from us, but I always remember Kobe's words, have you seen Los Angeles at 4 a.m.? To be honest, I don't know what kind of spirit is supporting him and allowing him to give everything for it, but as a Kobe fan, I am touched by his spirit, and it is because of Kobe that I will like the sport of basketball, and it has taught me that I must be persistent in doing things, if I really like it, then I must always insist on doing it and do my best.
You may be the only star I've ever chased in my life, but I'm sure you deserve to be chased, whether it's when you play or after you die, you're my spiritual totem, your fearless spirit, even if there are thousands of troops in front of you, you are fearless and brave.
Dear Kobe, miss you
