.usatodaysports writer MarkG_Medina sat down recently with Kobe Bryant and remembers how the NBA legend was determined to make his second act just as memorable.
on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. He considered it “juvenile” to think otherwise.
Instead, Bryant seemed more obsessed with other accolades. He admitted that it meant more to him that he won an Oscar, Sports Emmy and Annie Award for his short film, “Dear Basketball” than anything he did on the hardwood.
Bryant did not view these benchmarks as milestones. He viewed them as pitstops. Just like it took time for Bryant to blossom in the NBA during his first few seasons, he seemed to think about his newest profession through the same lens. “Our challenge now is taking books and making them into films, feature films and in series, some of which will be animated, some of which will be live action,” Bryant said. “So it's figuring out how to do that, while understanding that owning the intellectual property is absolutely essential. And so that's our challenge. It's fun to figure out the journey but also extremely frustrating because things don't move as fast as you want them to. But that's okay.
Tragically, Bryant will not have the chance to figure out how to remain patiently persistent with these projects as he did during his NBA career. Tragically, Bryant will not have the chance to show he can still remain connected to the game while still becoming more detached from it.
