Kobe Bryant

When Kobe Bryant arrived in the National Basketball Association in 1996, everyone seemed to be gunning for him. After all, Bryant came into the professional ranks right out of high school with a confident, some would say arrogant, attitude to match his on-court skills. Over time, Bryant has proven to be one of the best players in the league. He has been an instrumental part of his team, the Los Angeles Lakers and their winning three straight NBA championships, the most recent in 2002. This well-done book takes the reader through Bryant's career, discussing his many travels as a boy with his itinerant basketball-playing father, to his adjustment to the pro game. There is much here to appreciate, including a helpful glossary and a brief discussion of Bryant's early NBA struggles, when some teammates and NBA peers considered him to be a selfish player. Bryant fans need go no further than this book to learn about their hero's life and career. 2002, Capstone Press,
