The script is reportedly titled ‘With the 8th Pick.’ Although the script gained the attention of other film agencies, Warner Bros was reportedly the one to call dibs on it. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be produced by Ryan Stowell, Trevor White, and Tim White. Other producers include Michael Strahan, Gotham Chopra, and Tom Brady.
In August 2019, Kobe Bryant sat for an interview with Patrick Bet-David on Valuetainment on YouTube. When David asked how he was in high school, Bryant said:
“Much the same that I am now actually which is extremely curious, extremely curious. I had a great teacher in high school name is Jane Mastriano. Well, I'm still very close to and she sparked my curiosity in writing.”
Kobe Bryant went on:
“And the reason why I felt it was important at the time was not for the writing sake or not for storytelling purposes, but there are things in story inherently in story that can help me be a better basketball player, be a better teammate, a better leader, understand emotions better so that's why I got into it.”
Kobe Bryant shared how he learnt from the world
Elsewhere in the interview, Kobe Bryant said that from the age of 13, he promised himself to focus only on becoming one of the greatest basketball players. He didn’t pay attention to anything that didn’t help that goal. He watched players like Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan and wondered if he could ever reach their level.
When David asked if he was always competitive since childhood, Bryant said:
“Competitive with things that I participate in. So, I like I'll put it to you this way.”
Sharing his love for the sport, Kobe Bryant said basketball was the most important. From TV shows to books and conversations, everything taught him how to become a better player. He said that when a person develops this perspective, the world becomes a library for them.
Mentioning what he wouldn’t like to regret in life, Bryant said:
“When I retired I didn't want to have to say I wish I would have done more. I don't want that.”
Kobe Bryant explained that many players joined the NBA mainly to earn money, and once they became financially secure, they often lost their passion and hard work. He thought this gave him an advantage, almost like winning would be easy.
The basketball player also noticed that some players loved the game but didn’t want to dedicate their whole lives to it because they had other priorities, like family. Bryant believed that since he was committed, it was going to be exciting and fun for him to compete.
