Kobe Bryant was awarded the Best Animated Short Academy Award back in 2018 by Hamill, who clearly looks back warmly at meeting the basketball superstar.
Mark Hamill also paid his respects a second time on social media, simply saying that “His legend will live forever #RIPKobeBryant”.
Hamill calls it an ‘honor’ to have presented Bryant with his Academy Award, calling him a ‘legend and a superstar’ in this fitting tribute following this devastating tragedy.
Bryant retired from basketball back in 2016 following the end of the season, marking 20 seasons with the L.A. Lakers.
