Story4.5 out of 5 stars 386
Seventeen-time all-star; scorer of 81 points in a game; MVP; and a shooting guard second only to Jordan in league history: Kobe Bryant is one of basketball's absolute greatest players, a fascinating and complicated character who knew when he was a mere boy that he would be better than Jordan on the court. The debate about whether he achieved that is a furious one - but Kobe has surpassed Jordan on the all-time scoring list and has only one less championship than Jordan (five to Jordan's six).

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16
The definition of greatness cannot be confined to an explanation found in Webster's Dictionary; the epitome of greatness is unique to the individual seeking it. For some, greatness is achieved through fame; for some, it is found in fortune. But for all, greatness is achieved from a long life of hard work and nothing epitomizes this more than the life and work ethic of Kobe Bryant. For Kobe Bryant, the NBA became a part of his life much earlier than other NBA stars. Son of NBA star Joe Bryant, Kobe found his niche in basketball and pursued it from an early age.

When most people think of Michael Jordan, they think of the beautiful shots, his body totally in sync with the ball, hitting nothing but net. He is responsible for incredible moments so ingrained in basketball history that they have their own names: The Shrug, The Shot, The Flu Game. But for all his greatness, there's also a dark side to Jordan: A ruthless competitor, a gambler. There's never been a biography that balanced these personas-until now.

But nothing had quite prepared him for the only-in-Hollywood high-wire act of the Lakers' 2003-2004 season.

Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. His talent, passion, and will-to-win is known worldwide. He is a philanthropist, an endorser, an entertainer, and possibly a criminal. He is an intellectual, a man who speaks multiple languages. He was born a great athlete and became an even greater one. He is a complicated family man, a misunderstood leader, and an enigma to some. To others, he is truly one of the greatest athletes ever, one who can do things on a basketball court that no other human can do.

Publisher's Summary
Learn the Incredible Story of Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant!
In Kobe Bryant: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Shooting Guards, you'll read about the inspirational story of basketball's star, Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant has been the face of the Lakers dynasty for the past two decades and for good reason. Few players have commanded a basketball court as much as Kobe in historical performances such as his notable 81-point performance in just under 42 minutes of playing time in 2006 against the Toronto Raptors. Whenever Kobe Bryant decides to retire, he is not going to do so on his own terms as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Few players can parallel with Kobe Bryant in terms of competitive fire and will to win. His polarizing figure defines him and makes even those who do not like him at the very least respect him. Read on to learn about the days of when Kobe played alongside Shaquille O'Neal, Robert Horry, Metta World Peace, Derek Fisher, and Pau Gasol in some of the greatest times of Los Angeles Lakers' basketball history.
Here is a preview of what is inside this book:
- Early Life and Childhood
- High School Years
- Kobe Personal Life
- Kobe's Impact on Basketball and Beyond
- The Black Mamba's Legacy

It is sufficient for the purposes of which I listened to it for
I would say that this succinct overview on Kobe Bryant is sufficient for a look into Kobe Bryant the name sake of which this book is about. I would say giving this a four out of five is a bit generous of me. I got done listening to showboat which was a good book but really got into Kobe Bean Bryant nor the halfway portion of it. Showboat was a good audio book but I really wanted a book on Kobe Bryant not the people associated with Kobe Bryant. Thus in a more succinct and less in depth manner this is a lot more Kobe Bryant centric so listening to this after listening to the other good book tipped the scale in favour of this book. It’s a short listen and above average thus the better than average aspect of this book reflects the score in which I gave it. You might like it you might not these discussions are largely subjective, although if you do download it I hope you like it.
