What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

The #1 sports series for kids takes readers on the court and behind the scenes with beloved NBA icon Kobe Bryant in this inspiring biography.The son of Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, a former NBA player and star of various European teams, 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 basic 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. This biography traces Kobe’s life from childhood to his part in the Lakers’ 2000 NBA championship, giving readers a courtside seat to the greatest achievements of one of basketball’s legends.
