When Kobe Bryant passed away yesterday at the age of 41, he left behind a loving family, an epic sports legacy, and an Oscar-winning career as a filmmaker. Yep, Bryant won the 2018 Academy Award for Best Animated Short, for his personal film, Dear Basketball. In just a few minutes, Bryant narrates a love letter to the sport that made him famous. It’s lovely, searing, and will leave you more than a little verklempt.
As Decider’s own Editor-in-Chief Mark Graham put it, Dear Basketball “hinted at his promise beyond basketball.” Indeed, Bryant had begun experimenting with short-form storytelling with ESPN in 2017. It seemed that the next phase in Bryant’s journey would be that of the storyteller and mentor, using his experience to guide the next generation of athletes joining the sport.
The good news is that you can stream Kobe Bryant’s Oscar-winning animated short Dear Basketball for free. The bad news is you might not be able to find it on Netflix. Here’s your guide to where to stream Kobe Bryant’s Dear Basketball and various Kobe Bryant docs on Netflix, Hulu, and HBO.

If you’re looking for a Kobe Bryant documentary on HBO Go or HBO Now, you’re not going to be in luck. Right now, it looks like Hulu and Showtime are the only places to stream docs on the Mamba.
However, HBO subscribers can pay homage to Bryant in a surprising way. You can catch a 17-year-old Bryant playing himself in a 1996 episode of the HBO original Arliss. Bryant appears about halfway in Arliss, Season 1, Episode 5, “What About the Fans,” helping Arliss Michaels (Robert Wuhl) brush up on his Italian. He’s described as the youngest player in the NBA and richest 17-year-old in Los Angeles. What happier, simpler times for the legend…
