Eventually the actual animation will be released, but this video is high quality for being recorded like this and I think it's cool that he's narrating it live with a live orchestra, being composed by John Williams. The animation is by the legendary Disney animator Glen Keane. I thought that your fans would appreciate it the most, so I wanted to share it here.

That was pretty brilliantly done.

.. I hate Retirement Kobe. Sorry, I just do. All of this... seems.. so forced.

This was the first i've seen of his "story telling" or whatever and I thought it was awesome.

dope

I was there on Friday. I did not expect to see Kobe walk on stage, the whole place went nuts. Here's the video I got

I don't know how people can hate on this, it was beautiful. My GF isn't even a basketball fan, and she got teary eyed. I really hope Kobe continues to channel his creative side.

I mean... I hope the rest of them aren't all about Basketball... But It was a cool concept. Not sure how great it is as a standalone poem. But this production was pretty awesome even if his delivery is a little wooden.

Nice animation. Cool concept. The poem was a rookie offering.... it will get better. He'll have it no other way.

Overall it was pretty cool.

I like Kobe he is the greatest in basketball but I thought this whole production was just a little too self-glorifying and affected.

I mean, John Williams?
Give me a break. Did Kobe call him up or ?

I would understand it if John Williams and all the whoever producers of this, kind of badgered and forced Kobe into this. But I don't think that happened.

Oh, I don't think Kobe initiated this... The production of this is way beyond his fledgling company. Plus, he's preformed this already. I think John Williams, or Disney thought it would be a cool idea and mutually beneficial.
