I never got around to seeing Kobe's Oscar winning short film, but I found time yesterday. Pretty amazing. If you haven't seen it, the link is below (it's only about 5 minutes). But read this NYT article first for some perspective on what went into it. After reading the last sentence of the article, the final moment of the film is even more poignant.

It does far more than that.

It gives insights that probably never made the news or ESPN.

Thank you for that.

That was incredible.

I was a bit verklempt.

I don't follow sports, but I wish I'd seen this sooner.


Kobe was a samurai.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

Thank you for both of the links.

I'm not much of a sports fan, and up until yesterday, couldn't have told you one thing about Kobe Bryant.
This animated video from 2017 is especially poignant in light of yesterday's news and will move you, sports fan or not.
Thank you for posting.

Thanks for the link, but I couldn't help noticing that almost a quarter of its run time consists of the end credits.
The story/animation itself is only 4 minutes long.

OK, who's cutting the onions here.
