Full Description

The life and the legend of the Black Mamba, told in an abundantly illustrated book for young readers.

For his entire career, Kobe Bryant had an unquenchable drive not just to be great, but to be the very best—to rival Michael Jordan as the number one shooting guard of all time. This fast-paced book traces his entire journey: from his childhood in Italy to his dazzling high school career in Lower Merion, PA, to the ups and downs (and five NBA championships) of his 20 seasons with the Lakers, to his retirement (announced in his famous poem “Dear Basketball”) and his tragic death at the age of 41. Full of action-packed colour photos, this latest installment in the best-selling Abbeville Sports series will inspire young basketball fans with their own dreams of glory.
