Dear Basketball

I'm not crying... Yes I am.

Em honra de Kobe Bryant (1978–2020). Eu não dou a mínima para basquete e nem para estuprador, mas fora o traço da animação, esse curta manipulativo não tem nada de bom. Youtube.

This rapist should have got what he deserved.

Hate to break it to Kobe...

Sentimental and self-serving and saccharine and...what's that other S word?

The animation is fine. Sports in general have never interested me but I'd like to think I could find an animated short about a basketball player looking back on his career interesting if it weren't just a string of sentimental clichés. And now I see that the narration is supposed to be a "poem," god help us. It is barely sufficient as prose.

Pretty baller way of quitting, I'll tell you that. Decent.
