Kobe Bryant discovered storytelling as a second act and won an Oscar

Basketball legend Kobe Bryant was in the midst of a burgeoning entertainment career when he was killed Sunday in a tragic helicopter crash.

After retiring from a basketball career that spanned two decades, Kobe Bryant — an 18-time NBA All-Star who won five NBA championships, two Finals MVPs and one-regular season MVP over 20 seasons with the L.A. Lakers — set his sights on disrupting a new industry: entertainment.who died Sunday in a helicopter crash in Calabasas at age 41

One of Granity’s earliest projects was “Detail,” an ESPN+ series that deconstructed individual NBA playoff performances. The program was written, produced and hosted by Bryant and was intended to teach basketball to others in the same style that legendary NBA assistant Tex Winter once taught him. Directed by Glen Keane with music by Academy Award-winning composer John Williams, “Dear Basketball” did not have an easy journey to the Oscars, with thousands of people signing a petition demanding Bryant’s nomination be rescinded due to a sexual assault case brought against him in 2003. The case was ultimately dropped and later the subject of a civil settlement.
