Kobe Bryant just made history once again! Get into his big Oscar win inside...
We can't even lie. We didn't expect this to happen.
While Kobe Bryant just recently became the first Oscar nominated NBA basketball player, his animated short film Dear Basketball just took home the Oscar! So you can added first professional basketball Oscar winner as well.
The newly retired Laker, who hit the carpet with wife Vanessa Bryant earlier tonight, turned his essay into an animated short film alongside Glen Keane, and now their work has won the Academy Award for Best Short Film (Animated).
Major congrats to the future Hall of Famer!
