The author publishes an excellent book for all

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.

Narrator needs work

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

I want to prefer that for all. Grateful!!

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!

Too much learning approach

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!

You will also get how to have a positive mindset.

I loved everything about it. Still in shock over his untimely passing so needing to reach out and look back on his tenacity and dedication to the game was soothing.
