GRAMMY winning pianist, composer and producer Robert Glasper has written a theme song for legendary LA Lakers basketball player Kobe Bryant.

Nike have invited listeners to leave comments along the song’s time line on how they think each part captures a particular moment of Bryant’s illustrious playing career. Glasper’s track ‘Be Courageous’ honours Bryant’s "20 years of courage and greatness.”

This might be a timely boost for Bryant who's Lakers are having a dreadful season and currently sit at the bottom of the 2015-16 Pacific Standings. This is his last season with the team having announced his retirement when it closes.
