The Mamba Mentality
One of the most driven, successful basketball players ever is ready to unveil his secrets. Kobe Bryant, the five-time NBA champion and former Los Angeles Laker penned The Mamba Mentality out of an obligation to teach young players how to play "the right way." The 200-page hardcover book describes Bryant's approach mentally and physically in his own words, from how to prepare for an opponent to playing through injuries. The book is beautifully illustrated with pictures from Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein, who captured the first shots of Bryant as a pro in 1996 to his last game twenty years later.
