When Kobe Bryant retired, the NBA community lost a great player but the literary community gained a new author. He worked on several personal, as well as professional projects, alongside other authors. His wife, Vanessa Bryant, always supported his work and continues to promote it even after Kobe’s death.

Kobe Bryant always seemed like a quiet player who never needed to be loud to have his abilities recognized. However, once he retired, Kobe seemed to need a way to express. He then turned to writing. When he had taken his peers into confidence about the same, they laughed in his face.

Bryant, however, rose above that. He wrote a film called ‘Dear Basketball’ as a tribute to his career. That film won an Academy Award. Apart from the film, Kobe has several books to his name as well. His most famous one is ‘The Mamba Mentality: How I Play.’

In late March this year, Kobe Bryant’s Instagram account sent out its first post after his death. According to FOX 35 in Orlando, it was Vanessa who sent out this post. She also posted the same post on her account that promoted upcoming books from the series Bryant created.

Kobe formed the Granity Studios and revealed his intentions with the multimedia company. He said, “I created Granity Studios as a way of teaching valuable life lessons to the next generation. Our stories represent a competitive mindset about being the best at what you do.”

Through this company, Bryant released a series called ‘The Wizenard Series’. It is actually an unheard-of fusion of basketball and “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.”

Bryant tried to aim at giving kids a relatable perspective on life lessons through sports. Bestselling author Wesley King brought the stories down on paper. He has several titles under his belt.

“Training Camp,” the first installment of the series, released in 2019 and became a New York Times Best Seller. Now, Vanessa Bryant seems to be working with the author and the publishing house. They are bringing fans new content to remember their idol through.

Kobe died in a helicopter crash on January 26, along with his daughter Gianna and seven others on board.
