At Sunday night's 90th annual Academy Awards, Kobe Bryant won another trophy, this one for winning the Oscar in the Best Animated Short category.
Bryant, the retired Los Angeles Lakers star, brought home the golden statue for his contributions to the animated short "Dear Basketball," based on a poem he wrote in 2015 announcing his impending retirement from basketball. He took home the top prize along with veteran Disney animator Glen Keane.
Bryant's poem begins: "Dear Basketball, from the moment I started rolling my dad's tube socks, and shooting imaginary game-winning shots in the Great Western Forum, I knew one thing was real: I fell in love with you.
