Kobe Bryant and Sports Illustrated have announced their partnership on a multi-platform video project based on Bryant’s “Dear Basketball” poem, which he used to announce his retirement from the NBA this year. 🔸The animated short film "Dear Basketball" will be narrated by Bryant and will premiere on SI.com in the fall. Several exclusive SI Films mini documentaries will also accompany the film, showing viewers the behind-the-scenes process of producing the project. _______________________________ 📰 IN OTHER LAKERS NEWS: ▪️University of Memphis freshman forward Dedric Lawson plans to work out for the Lakers on Friday, a source told The Commercial Appeal Wednesday night. 🔸Lawson, a versatile 6-foot-9 forward and the 2016 American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year, is testing the NBA waters. But he hasn't signed with an agent, meaning he can return to Memphis for his sophomore year as long as he pulls his name out of draft consideration by May 25. (H/T CommercialAppeal.com)▪️Metta World ✌🏾 made an appearance on The Jump with @rachel_nichols and was asked about Luke Walton becoming the new head coach: 🔸"When I was in the Finals I would talk to Luke,” World Peace said of his former teammate. “So I would go back to the bench and like, ‘Luke, what’s going on? What should I do?’ He’d just tell me, he would give me tips throughout the whole entire playoffs." “He’s perfect for the job. He’s so smart. So smart.” (H/T @lakers_examiner) ▪️According to The Sporting News: A source said the Lakers will have interest in Festus Ezeli. His size and rim-protecting defense is an ideal complement to Julius Randle. Ezeli had the best months of his career in November and December, with Walton filling in while Kerr recovered from back surgery, and before Ezeli’s knee injury. ___________________________ #lalakers #lakernation #losangeleslakers #lakers #lakeshow #kobebryant #kobe #nba #news by lakersworld16
