Kobe Bryant talked to USA TODAY Sports about life after the NBA, projects with his award-winning multimedia company and coaching his daughter's team.
When Pelinka worked as Bryant’s agent, Bryant said he once told Pelinka he would win an Oscar. Even if Bryant considered the conversation to be a “pie in the sky thing,” his prediction was not that outlandish.
“I have an idea for an entire universe that centers around sports, fantasy and magic,” Bryant said. “It’s as if the Olympics and Harry Potter had a baby.” Bryant realized traditional publishers did not share his ideas. So, Bryant launched his own publishing company. That maximizes his creative freedom and protects his intellectual property.
"I would lie if I first got the call, I wasn’t a little hesitant," King said. "But it's been absolutely a great experience."Because of that workload, Bryant rarely watched NBA games after he retired. He only did so if a player asked him to review film. Otherwise, he spent most of his time on his projects or with his family.
“Coaching youth sports is so important to take very seriously because you're helping the emotional of young kids,” Bryant said. “So it’s understanding not to be overcritical and understanding that are going to be mistakes.” “It is not for fans. It is for one percent of people that will actually understand what the hell we're talking about,” Bryant said. “The funny thing is by doing that, we seem to have really connected with everyone, everyone else. But that was absolutely not the mission.”Bryant spent most of his career striving to win more NBA titles and to set more records.
