Kobe Bryant had big plans for the future in his final interview before his tragic death.
in a profile published on Thursday, January 23, that although he cherished his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers, the awards that he won for his 2017 animated short film,“It’s not something that was expected,” he said. “As a kid, you kind of have the goal of winning championships and all these sorts of things. Being in the industry that I’m in now? It wasn’t something that was thought of me winning an Oscar.
The athlete’s busy schedule came as a surprise to many of his former teammates, team officials and opponents. He told the publication that “people were genuinely concerned” about his next chapter after he took off his Lakers jersey for the final time at the end of the 2015-2016 season. But Bryant took his new life in stride. He was particularly proud of the children’s books he worked on, in part because he was not much of a reader growing up.. “I love telling stories. I love inspiring kids or providing them with tools that are going to help them.”On top of his own career, the Philadelphia native dedicated the final two years of his life to coaching his daughter Gianna’s Amateur Athletic Union team.
