The tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman sent shockwaves throughout America and the world. Boseman, unbeknownst to anybody else other than his family, continued working and starring in movies, but he did so only on his own terms. In the past view days, HBO and HBO Max have featured Boseman’s recent appearance on ‘The Shop,’ created by LeBron James and Maverick Carter, where he discussed his approach to his career.
Among the many topics that Boseman touched on, which LeBron James reflected on after Boseman’s passing, was the late Kobe Bryant.
“It was crazy because we were sitting in the party talking about philosophy and poetry — that’s who he was. He was like, ‘This is what I’m into right now as an artist, not as a basketball player,'” Boseman said about Kobe. “We started talking about it, I’m like ‘Yo we should do something together.’ He was applying the same type of focus that he’s applied to basketball, as a producer or director, whatever.”
HBO has added an in memoriam tribute about Boseman before the episode.
