My friends have been telling me to learn this book for years and I finally spent the time to do it. I learned so much about the history of the NBA and Kobe does a great job keeping it fun and interesting along the way.

The author publishes an excellent book for all

Only partway through but player name mispronunciations are cringe-worthy. Already heard Vlade Divac and Nick Van Exel butchered.

An amazing amount of information collected into this book. Kobe Bryant isn't just spouting dry facts, either. He records with a wit that keeps you moving through all the info that you could want to know about the NBA and basketball. This is going on my bookshelf at school -- the kids are going to love it!

I want to prefer that for all. Grateful!!

Great listen to and fantastic insight from the one and only Kobe Bryant! I got this for a gift for my brother and end up choosing up a model myself! Great gift for a Kobe fan or just a basketball fan in general!

Too much learning approach

If you like basketball and like small shows its decent enough to appreciate the photos and the explanation of how Kobe approached the game.

Best book in my opinion on this topic

This audible book dives deep into the mind of Bryant and what it takes to be successful. Even though basketball is the primary focus of this speech book; the mindsets and approaches can be applied to anything.

Magnificent guide in a straightforward manner
