About

Synopsis

Dear Basketball (2017) is an animated short film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Glen Keane adapted the poem Kobe Bryant wrote upon announcing his retirement from the NBA — six minutes tracing the arc from a five-year-old stuffing socks into a wastebasket to the final buzzer at Staples Center. The film took home the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. Brief, precise, and entirely without filler.
