LOS ANGELES-Kobe Bryant is a winner in retirement, too. The former Los Angeles Lakers star won an Oscar in the animated short category for Dear Basketball, a poem he wrote, after ending his 20year career on the court in 2016.
He'll add it to an already jammed trophy collection that includes five NBA championships with the Lakers, two Olympic gold medals, NBA Finals most valuable player awards,a league MVP award and four AllStar game MVP awards.
Backstage, Bryant looked lovingly at the statue cradled in his hands and mouthed,“My God.”“I feel better than winning championships,” he said,a smile never leaving his face.“This is crazy,man;it's crazy.”
As executive producer,Bryant accepted his golden Oscar statue from Star Wars star Mark Hamill on Sunday night.He shared the award with Disney animator Glen Keane.
Among those offering their congratulations via Twitter were Hall of Famers Magic Johnson, Bill Russell and Shaquille O'Neal, Bryant's former Lakers teammate who admitted,“I'm jealous!”
Since hanging up his basketball shoes, Bryant has thrown himself into business (a new Nike shoe) and various forms of storytelling.
“As basketball players,we're told to shut up and dribble,” Bryant said on stage.“I'm glad we did a little bit more than that.”
Bryant said he heard comments like “That's cute”when he told people he wanted to become a storyteller in retirement.“The hardest thing when you start over,you have to quiet the ego(自我) and begin again. You have to learn the basics of things,”he said.
He thanked his wife,Vanessa,and his three daughters, naming each of them.He spoke a few words of Italian-a language he learned as a child growing up in Italy-and closed by telling them,“You are my inspiration.”
