Aggregate the many accolades on Kobe Bryant’s resume, he can now add another one – Academy Trophy winner.
Bryant’s short film, “Dear Basketball,” won for “Best Lively Short Film.”
The film is an animated version of the letter Bryant wrote for “The Jocks’ Tribune” announcing his retirement from basketball.
In his acceptance speech, Bryant abducted a veiled shot at Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who made headlines recently by enmity with LeBron James and suggesting he should “shut up and dribble” amidst James’ criticism of President Donald Trump.
“As basketball players, we’re categorically supposed to shut up and dribble, but I’m glad we did a little bit more than that,” Bryant conveyed.
