It's pretty much impossible to associate Kobe Bryant [1] with something other than basketball, but after retiring from the league in 2016 [2] and winning his first Academy Award [3] last year, he's heading down another path of notoriety in the entertainment industry, and he couldn't be more excited about it. On Tuesday night, the five-time NBA champion stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [4] to discuss all things fatherhood and his new book The Wizenard Series: Training Camp, which is a fantasy basketball novel [5] out this week.

With Kobe and Vanessa Bryant expecting their fourth daughter [6] later this year, Jimmy couldn't help but ask him about his female-filled household. "Four girls, man, four girls," Kobe said. "I spend most of the time at the house literally talking to myself. I think they're listening and then they just go off talking about something else, and then I just face the wall." With 16-year-old Natalia, 12-year-old Gianna, and 2-year-old Bianka, it's safe to say Kobe is far from bored, post-retirement.

He even said that his youngest daughter and baby on the way will have no idea that he is a basketball legend. "They're gonna know you as a writer and director and producer," Jimmy said, adding that Kobe's new book is "a mix of fantasy, like Harry Potter [7] or Game of Thrones, mixed with basketball."
