Rest In Peace, Kobe Bryant......he deserved the award just as his career was.

Kobe: i'm Retiring Reporter: What are you going to do with your life Kobe: I dunno, something simple. Win an Oscar.

Man this hurts to watch. Was a winner at everything he did. Breaks my heart.

Hollywood is definitely gonna make a movie about him one day

This man achieved so many things in his 41 years than a typical man would not even in 100 years..

RIP to Academy Award winner Kobe Bryant This is unbelievable to me.

"No one's ever really gone" -Luke Skywalker Rest in power Black Mamba.

"As basketball players, we're really supposed to shut up and dribble, but I'm glad we did a little bit more than that." 😭

Don’t cry because he’s gone. Smile because he was here.

I bet the person seated behind Kobe was also happy he won, "Oh, thank God! I can see the stage now!"

The way he looked at the Oscar as he was holding it was just so surreal to him. Can’t believe he is dead. He accomplished so much and still had more to go. Rest In Peace

"Ti amo con tutto il mio cuore". What an honor to have had you in Italy. Italy loves you, we will never forget

To think yesterday I was watching Oscars speeches at 3am, found this one and today this man died. RIP Kobe.

Watching "Dear Basketball" hits completely differently now. The last lines feel like a personal message from Kobe. We miss you Kobe, RIP Kobe & Gigi

I really hope one day we can get a movie about Kobe and his journey to the NBA along his life with Vanessa Bryant and his 4 beautiful girls.

You can tell Kobe was shocked and didn’t realize he just won an Oscar. He was standing so far away from the mic and Glen Keane until Glen pulled him over. Glens da real MVP for that.

He named his daughter in this speech. I can’t even imagine what his family is going thru tonight 💔 Heart broken.

The world of basketball will never be the same from this day on. Saddest day in basketball history. Rest in peace legend, you were a one of a kind talent. #24 #8

1:23 I love how Kobe waits for Glen Keane and lets him walk ahead of him. Not a fan of Basketball, but still so sad for what happened with Kobe. True soul. RIP 🙏

Kobe achieved more in his 41 years than most could do in several lifetimes. Maybe the "guy upstairs" was putting together a team and just called him up to the big leagues.

I can’t breathe seeing this video. I can’t even believe his death is real. After all he contributed to the game and life in general. It was seeing him win this Oscar, as a fan of both sports and film who always wanted to do both, that really inspired me. There were so many things Kobe did that show me I could do it too. I was a born and bred New Yorker who dealt with bullying for, among other things, being a Lakers fan. But I could always rely on the fact that Kobe was the greatest to pull me through. My interest in animation and language was weird, but Kobe had it too. And seeing how much he did motivated me to keep going, even after tearing both my knees left me unable to play at my former ability. My entire community is in shock right now. I feel like this is a nightmare I can’t wake up from. Rest In Peace, Mr. Bryant. We miss you.

We lost this man 3 years ago, I will always miss him. RIP KOBE

Kobe speaks “Ti amo con tutto il mio cuore” to his wife & kids in italian🇮🇹.... 🇺🇸RIP🙏🏼

"Ti amo con tutto il mio cuore" Kobe, anche noi.

''Don't say La La Land. Don't say La La Land''

Kobe Bryant: 1 Christopher Nolan: 0

He can't contain his happiness while holding the award. Rest easy mamba we love you

Been watching Kobe’s videos everyday -after waking up and before going to bed... Who’s doing the same??🤚🏻 I just can’t get over yet of his and his daughter’s passing 🥺🥺

RIP Kobe. Just heard the news and now this video has a whole different meaning to me.

Poor Shaq. He always wanted to be the first NBA player to win an Oscar. Guess nobody truly appreciated Kazaam.

Loved the way Mark Hamill said “KOBE!!” when Kobe won!! I lost it when Mark Hamill said “Don’t say La La Land” before announcing the winner!! 😂

The way he doesn’t forget his wife and daughters and dedicates it to them has my heart! He’s a true example of a real man

Kobe Bryant might not be here, but he will always be remembered as the Black Mamba for what he is. He's an Oscar winner, a MVP, and a GOAT. Thus, the Bryant brand never dies. RIP.

So happy both Glen Keane and Kobe Bryant won the Oscar. I admire them both. Kobe is a fantastic basketball player and Glen is a great animator who created Ariel, the Beast, Aladdin, Pochantas, and Tarzan. Also when Part of Your world from Little Mermaid was nearly cut, it was Glen who finally convinced Jeffrey Katzenberg to keep it in the movie, and they kept the song.

Still can’t believe he’s gone. 😢

Seeing Kobe's disbelief and gratitude toward winning this award, even though he won everything and more as a basketballer with one of the most illustrious careers in history, shows how determined he was to succeed and do well at everything he attempted in his life. He will always inspire me to aim high in everything that matters to me in life. Rest in peace kobe. Videos like this break my heart, but at the same time we need to be thankful that a human being like him lived in this world.

We are now living in a world where Kobe Bryant is an Oscar winner. Let that sink in for a minute.

“Don’t say La La Land. Don’t say La La Land”. That was fucking hilarious.

Kobe so humble... looked like he couldn’t believe it when he received it and then was thankful quick and thanked everyone what a legend.

No basketball player ever won an Oscar. Kobe is among the rarest of all! RIP legend!

“ti amo con tutto il mio cuore” Kobe the Italian Stallion🇮🇹❤️

Rip to a legend, he had a bunch a championship rings, and a Oscar too.

"Dear Basketball, im ready to leave you now" those words really hits the basketball world crying. REST IN PARADISE KOBE & YOUR BELOVED DAUGHTER GIGI. WE LOVE YOU.

I feel jealous of everyone in that place that got the chance to be so close to him. No one had any idea he would leave this earth so soon and how lucky they were to have had the chance of meeting him

The 1 time Kobe was actually nervous .

Shit Man, our life on this earth Is so fragile.

Omg he also thanked his family in italian, Kobe ci manchi!😢🇮🇹

What an inspiration! Few people ever in history to have ever won both an Oscar and an Olympic gold medal. He may have died young..but he definitely lived life to the fullest. Rest In Peace, Kobe 🙏

Although it was short, every bit of the story was moving to my soul. The animations, the background sounds, and voice overs were perfection. I felt this way before his death and it touched me even more deeply after his death. This was well deserved award!

Kobe thanked his wife and children, brought a tear to my eye hearing Gianna's name.

This man was on his way to change the world. RIP Kobe. We miss you.

GIGI was the one that pushed her dad into doing this. I've always say that Kobe Bryant family was his strength. May God give Vanessa and the other families the strength in these difficult times.

Dear Basketball, The Black Mamba is out. May you rest in peace, Kobe. ...you will be forever missed.

I like how the mic just rose up a little to match kobes height

" ti amo con tutto il mio cuore" bryant was half italian...you ll be always into our heart my dear . R.i.p

He accomplished so much in his short life, it's heartbreaking that he's gone...Rest in eternal peace, Kobe,, Gigi and the other 7 who lost their lives...❤😢❤

"Basketball players are meant to shut up and dribble" is kobe mocking that reporter that was beefing LeBron? 😂😂😂😂😂

"Don't say La La Land, don't say La La Land" Mark Hamil never fails

What an incredible man he was! It hurts to say “was” instead of “is” 😭 RIP Kobe, Gianna, and everyone else who lost their lives in that crash ❤️

He was such a classy man

I can't believe it... Seriously... How can this family deal with such a loss...? This woman, Vanessa, lost husband and daughter... How will she find the strength to carry on for the shake of her other children..,? Why should he take the damn elicopter in such weather condition?? This is so unfair.. Life can be so unfair sometimes...

Watching that short film now gives me chills and lots of tears. Watching him at the end walk off into the light.......full circle moment. RIP King 🖤💜💛🖤💜💛🖤💜💛🖤💜💛🖤💜💛🖤💜💛🖤💜💛🖤

I just love how he spoke!

My heart is aching, tragedies like this shouldn’t happen RIP KOBE

*Academy Award winner Kobe Bryant*

What a legendary man R.I.P. Black Mamba

Kobe Bryant, our world has lost our Champion, a Legend, a Humanitarian, a Son, Brother, Husband, Father, and Friend! Kobe, thank you for being my friend! Love you, Gigi, Vanessa, Natalia Diamante, Bianka, and Capri Kobe. Rest In Peace!🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️ Extended Prayers for all the families! 🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕

I found out about his short animated film the day he died as I really didn't follow his basketball career but damn did his short film made me cry so much. It's literally the best short animated film I have ever seen! So inspirational! RIP KOBE! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Rest in peace Kobe, we feel the ripple effect of your passing. You did it man! You lived an incredible life. Thank you for the memories

5x championships, 2x FMVP, 1x MVP, 18x All-Star, 2x Olympic gold medals( who gives a fuck about the olympics anyway) and 1 Oscar. UNREAL. #mambaforever #RIP

"Ti amo con tutto il mio cuore..." Ciao Kobe sempre nel nostro cuore!!

This is truly something. I was not much of a Kobe follower. I knew he played for the Lakers, I knew he was great at his craft, I knew he was referred to as the "Black Mamba" but after his passing, I see what he leaves this world. He leaves inspiration to everyone that if you put in the hard work, you keep yourself relevant, hungry to continue learning, staying focused, surround yourself with great people that are just as passionate as you, anything is attainable in this world. This man is a great role model to all people and ages. Its truly sad that he departs this world at a young age but he leaves a beautiful legacy. To Kobe and his daughter forever rest in peace and to the Bryant family, strength during this truly difficult time.

I love watching Kobe’s Oscar speech over and over again. To me he was first a family man then a basketball star. Rest In Peace Kobe.

Rest in peace Kobe Bryant, your daughter and the others that lost their lives . Tragic .

I am already 40 years old and still playing ball. STILL SHOUTING KOBE EVERY SHOT!

3 years later and it still hurts longlive Mamba

I should absolutely watch more animated shorts

''Basketball is my refuge, my sanctuary. I am again a child in the yard. When I get here everything is good.'' -Kobe Bryan... rest in peace 1978 -2020😔😔.

A very prestigious award. Kobe speaking perfect Italian during his acceptance speech is tremendous. People can judge how they want, cool. But that little touch means a lot to those of us that knew Kobe as so much more than an athlete. RIP ALWAYS KING

Damn, this hits so bad right now. He trully is example of brilliance and greatness to all of us. RIP LEGEND

God damn I still tear up every time I watch Kobe talk about his family... we miss you!

Legends never die. Rest in peace 😢

RIP and long live Kobe Bryant (August 23, 1978 - January 26, 2020), aged 41 You will always be remembered as a legend.

It wasn't until AFTER Kobe's death did I learn that he won an Oscar. He's got an impressive list of accolades but his greatest accolade was being husband and a father to his 4 Daughters

That was AWESOME that Kobe received an Oscar! Just wish his life wasn't cut down so short! I'm not a Lakers fan but Kobe epitomized what you can do on and off of the court! You are MISSED Black Mamba!

Man I remember NBA twitter reacting live to this, celebrating like he just won his 6th ring. Still can't believe he's gone

Rip Kobe, italian pride. ❤

Watching his short made me cry. So much love for his art. So much love for his way of life.

RIP Kobe and Gianna and everyone that died in that crash❤

A 100% well deserved win to a legend and a fantastic person in general. R.I.P Kobe

I keep saying how glad I was for Kobe to experience and enjoy winning in other areas besides in the NBA. Very very glad for him. Obviously it's very unfortunate late January of this year the incident happened, but I know he and his girl is lit up among the purple and golden stars in heaven

Keep on watching and watching over and over again As an Italian, it thrills me to hear him declaring his love to his beloveds in my language Thanks Mamba

who is here after Kobe Bryant death > goodbye :(

R.I.P Kobe Bryant 💔💔💔💔 The GOAT 🐐 We'll always love u ..😥 Condolences to his family 😖😫

I’m glad he made Dear Basketball. It’s the best way for me to rewatch it and regain his inspiration in basketball. He was my hero

Who else went back for this after the tragedy of Kobe, his daughter Gigi, and other victims of the helicopter crash? We'll miss you, Mamba! 💜💛🙌🏻

He literally won everything. R.I.P 💔

This way he talks in Italian so casually wow

Watching this over again, made me cry . RIP Kobe and Gigi !!

I will always love Kobe and Giana😍😭
