This film was inspired by Kobe’s Oscar-winning short film “Dear Basketball” and serves as a love letter and final goodbye to Kobe from China. Although gone, his Mamba Mentality lives on, as his stewardship of the sport in China continues to be a big reason for the game’s rising popularity. This aired in China in Mandarin and was viewed online over 70-million times. We recorded an English version internally.
