Basketball taught him everything he needed to be great in and out
My god what a book. I have never been a Kobe fan in Bball. Timmy D was my guy but I respected Kobe being the GOAT of his era. This book explains why he was and why even post Bball he started becoming successful in his other endeavours. The lessons that he learnt in his 20 years and shares gives you such a blueprint on not only being successful but dominating your space without sacrificing what is important to you. I love the book and now I’m off to dominate my space. RIP Mamba and mambacita. Thank you.

Mastery
Excellent quality pictures that told a story in themselves... Invaluable insight into one of the greatest minds in sport. Full of inspiration. Would have liked more reading material but it is more than acceptable as a table book. I wanted to follow behind one of the greatest to ever play the game and I intend to be the greatest in my field. I wanted to use Kobe as a literary mentor.

Great insight into Kobe's process
My only negative of this great book is that it seemed to jump around a lot. If there was a little bit more of a transition between each chapter / insight / story I think it would've flowed a bit easier. That said, a great insight into Kobe's approach - very detailed and ultimately inspiring. RIP Kobe.

Simple but effective breakdown of Kobe's career in his words
Cool to read about Kobe's POV in game prep and things he learned from people as his career trajectory ascended. I thought this was a novel size, but it is more like a child's picture book size. Still a decent amount of pages of written passages accompanied by high quality photos from Kobe's career.

Amazing memorabilia, a must have
A must read if your a fan or not of basketball, an amazing piece of memorabilia. Kobe is truely an inspirational athlete dedicated and hard working reading this makes you want to strive for greatness. The photography is phenomenal catching some amazing moments from one of the best to ever do it. R.I.P Black mamba...

Inspiring book, not only for athletes
I used to be an athlete and part of me always loves sports, but this book is much more than that. It's applicable to everything you do in life. I loved it because you can grasp the passion and dedication Kobe had. For me, it was inspiring to apply the same dedication and "mamba mentality" in my business

Cover a bit damaged
Dear, I just received the item (absolutely in love with the book) but that little rip on the cover annoys me. Kobe was about excellent and this isn’t unfortunately. Five stars is for the book. Breathtaking pictures and amazing narrative 💜💛

5 stars for the book itself, but 1 star for the Amazon shipping experience
I bought this as a gift for my son's teammate. After looking through the book, I just had to buy another copy for my son! I initially thought it was a standard biography, but it is actually filled with so many incredible pictures of Kobe that any fan would enjoy. You don't even have to be a big reader to love it. Every word comes directly from Kobe himself. My child might not always listen to me, but I know he will listen to Kobe and realize that his success came from an immense amount of hard work. This book isn't just for athletes; it's for anyone who wants to achieve greatness. It is a truly great book for everyone. 5 stars for the book itself, but 1 star for the Amazon shipping experience. It arrived fast, but I really dislike how it was packaged. I wonder when Amazon will learn not to ship a book in a huge box. For a heavy book like this, a tiny amount of brown cushion paper does absolutely nothing; the corners arrived a bit bent.
