Kobe Bryant

As the son of former NBA player Joe "Jellybean" Bryant, Kobe spent his childhood watching professional basketball. From the moment he could pick up a ball, he was learning to dribble and shoot. His basketball education was unique - a combination of lessons on fundamentals, one-on-one games against his dad, and observation and analysis of the world's best players. At age eighteen, Kobe was given the chance to prove his skills, when he was drafted into the NBA. Fresh out of high school, Kobe showed that he had the talent and heart to make it in the pros - and the rest is history. This biography gives listeners a court-side seat to the achievements of one of basketball's greatest legends as it traces Kobe's life from childhood to his five NBA championships, his successbul career outside the game, and his tragic death and lasting legacy.--
