It was also announced earlier today that the Academy will pay tribute to the late Kobe Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday, Jan. 26 in Calabasas, California

Not only was the former NBA superstar a legend on the court, but he also earned an Oscar Award in 2018 for his Best Animated Short Film, titled Dear Basketball. The short film was based on a poem he wrote to announce his retirement from the NBA. The former Los Angeles Lakers player retired in 2016 after a 20-year basketball career. 

“This feels better than winning the championship, to be honest with you,” Kobe said at the time, during his acceptance speech. ”Growing up as a kid, I dreamed of winning championships and working really hard to make that dream come true, but then to have something like this seemingly come out of left field.”
