In addition to being a five-time NBA champion, Kobe Bryant was also an Oscar winner.

When Bryant announced his retirement, he penned a poem for The Players' Tribune, which was later adapted into a five-minute and 22-second animation.

Narrated by Bryant, the piece won the Academy Award for "Best Animated Short Film" in 2018.

Following his tragic death on Sunday, Granity Studio has made Dear Basketball available to stream for free. Just head to http://dearbasketball.com/
