As Kobe Bryant embarks on the final stretch of his farewell tour in the NBA, speculation leans toward what the Los Angeles Lakers small forward will be doing after he retires.
Well that question has now been answered as Bryant let the cat out of the bag during an interview with The Orange County Register, saying his time will be spent making moves at Kobe Studios, an arm of Kobe Inc. he founded as a vehicle to bring others’ stories to life through various media outlets.
Headquartered in Newport Beach, CA, Kobe Inc. is noted for being a multi-level business. According to the Register, Bryant has been spending long hours coming up with ideas for Kobe Studios.
“What my passion is now is creating the story,” the 37-year-old basketball legend told the Register. “Creating the story and finding the best possible way, the medium which that story can live.”
As for how those stories will be told, Bryant mentioned it would be done through movies, books and “any area in which content is distributed and created.”
“Some stories will be created. Some stories will be fantasy in nature, others reality-based,” he said. “But we will look for content that inspires a generation of people.”
Bryant’s comments and new post-NBA mind state comes amid playing his final games in the pro’s for the next two months. Bryant’s retirement, which comes after his final game on April 13, will conclude a storied 20 years in the NBA.\
