In 2018, late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant made history by becoming
the first professional athlete to win an Academy Award with his production,
"Dear Basketball," which took home Best Animated Short Film. During Sunday's
ceremony, Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant and Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley
joined Bryant in the pantheon of Oscar winners when "Two Distant Strangers"
won the Academy Award in the Short Film (Live Action) category.

在2018年，已故湖人隊傳奇球星Kobe Bryant 以《親愛的籃球》創造歷史，成為第一位贏
得奧斯卡獎的職業球員（贏得「最佳動畫短片」）。而在這個星期天（美國時間）的頒獎
典禮中，由籃網隊前鋒Kevin Durant 及爵士隊後衛 Mike Conley 參與的《遙遠的陌生人
》也成了最新的奧斯卡獎得獎者（贏得「最佳實景短片」）。

Both Durant and Conley served as executive producers on the film, currently
available to stream on Netflix, in which the protagonist, played by rapper
and actor Joey Bada$$, finds himself in a time loop where he is repeatedly
re-living a deadly run-in with a police officer.

Durant 及 Conley 都是該短片的監製，目前在網飛有上架，講述由饒舌歌手兼演員 Joey
Bada$$ 飾演的主角發現自己身處在一個不斷重複著與一位警官之致命衝突瞬間的時間輪
迴的故事。

Durant gave a shout out to everyone involved in the film following the win.

Durant 在獲知得獎消息後，於推特上轉發消息、表達喜悅。

爵士隊也在推特上恭賀他們的控球後衛。

Writer and director Travon Free has spoken about how much the involvement of
Durant and Conley led to the film's success and recognition, noting that both
NBA All-Stars were much more than a source of funding. Durant's business
manager Rich Kleiman and mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs also served as executive
producers.

編劇兼導演 Travon Free 在談到 Durant 與 Conley 在製作上的參與如何讓該短片得到
成功與認可時，表示這兩位全明星球員不僅僅在資金上有所投入。Durant 的商務經理
Rich Kleiman 及大亨 Sean Combs 也是該片的聯合監製。

"Guys in the locker room were giving me grief about it the other day, just
like, 'You might win an Oscar before you win a championship' " Conley said in
an interview with CBS Los Angeles before the Oscars. "I was like, hey if I
could win both, that'd be great, but obviously an Oscar was not something I
thought I'd ever be a part of."

Conley 曾在奧斯卡頒獎典禮前，在 CBS 洛杉磯站的一場專訪中表示：

「幾天之前，在休息室的隊友們都在私語，像是『你可能在贏得總冠軍之前就贏得奧斯卡
　獎』的話都有。不過對我而言，如能同時獲得這兩個獎項，那就太好了，但是很顯然的
　，奧斯卡獎不像是我預料中的一部分。」
