I didn't know Kobe won an oscar in the animated short film category, 'Dear Basketball'. I haven't seen it. To announce his retirement from basketaball he wrote a letter (poem) about his relationship with basketball. Glen Keane from Disney hand drew a buncha pictures from Youtube highlights of Kobe's famous shots and no less than John Williams composed the music.
Apparently one of the sequences show Kobe moving laterally in the air shooting backwards. In an interview Kobe describes learning how to do it as a kid while riding his bike and throwing rocks at a telephone pole. He talks about the physicis of it.
He cheated, though. He knew what he wanted to do from age 5. Specifically. Not just be great but be the greatest. So that's cheating.
We normal people still don't know what we want to do when we grow up. I don't, at least.
No fair!
