About the book
Kobe Bryant's autobiographical work, illustrated with photographs by Andrew D. Bernstein, explains how the Lakers guard approached basketball over his career. Divided into sections, it covers his preparation, including late-night workouts, film study and physical therapy, along with the trainers, teammates and rivals who shaped him, and how he adapted after injuries. It also examines his leadership style and the technical choices he made on the court, with annotated game images. Bryant defines the "mamba mentality" as valuing the journey over the result. Statistics, a timeline and a photographer's afterword round out the volume.
