Kobe Bryant is enjoying his post-playing career life more than he anticipated.

“It’s actually better than I dreamed of or imagined it could be," said Bryant on Fox Sports Radio. "I’m very fortunate to be able to have found something that I love just as much as I loved basketball. It’s the same process, it’s a lot of work, a lot of attention to detail and getting up early, staying up late. Finding the right people to work with that share that same passion, love and obsessiveness for the craft. And when you do that, when you work with great people, the results tend to be great as well … I’m loving every minute of it.”

Bryant has won an Oscar and an Emmy since retiring.
