Time Inc to launch animated short-film with Kobe Bryant

I’m a little basketball depressed because my Boston Celtics gout bounced from the NBA Playoffs a little bit ago, but Time, Inc. doesn’t seem to mind. Later this year, Time Inc and Entertainment Weekly are coming out with a streaming service, and Deadline.com mentions that Kobe Bryant is putting away the ball in favor of a production company:

Time Inc also unveiled a deal with NBA star Kobe Bryant and Believe Entertainment Group to create a production company, Kobe Studios, that will develop multi-platform videos. The effort will include an animated short film for SI.com, Dear Basketball.

Not much else is known about Dear Basketball, but as a fan of the sport, I’m really looking forward to it. Between this and the NBA Draft, I should make it through the next several months.
