When Kobe Bryant retired from the NBA last year, he penned a poem entitled ?Dear Basketball,? a love letter to the game that is now a short film. Illustrated by legendary Disney animator Glen Keane and scored by John Williams, the short Dear Basketball visually presents Bryant?s poem as black-and-white sketches, with only Bryant?s purple and gold Laker colors as accents. It premiered Sunday at the Tribeca Film Festival, with a discussion with Bryant, Keane and moderator Michael Strahan. Bryant says, "The best way to inspire is through story, it tends to sink in more."
