Kobe Bryant now has as many Oscars as he does NBA MVP awards.
The five-time NBA champion and 18-time All Star's farewell video to the league 'Dear Basketball' won the Oscar for Best Animated Short on Monday afternoon (NZ time).
The six-minute short, which is narrated by Bryant, was based
on a poem he wrote to announce his retirement from the sport, and was shown at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival
The 39-year-old worked with animator Glen Keane on the project and enlisted five-time Oscar-winning composer John Williams to provide the soundtrack.
