Kobe Bryant may be one of the youngest basketball players in the NBA, but no one would dare call him inexperienced. The son of former NBA player Joe "Jellybean: Bryant, Kobe spent his childhood watching professional basketball. From the moment he could handle a ball, he was learning to dribble and shoot. At age eighteen he was given the chance to prove his stuff when he was drafted into the NBA. Fresh out of high school, Kobe showed he had the talent and the heart to make it in the pros.

Can you imagine making 2000 shots per day? Can you imagine playing basketball for 10 hours a day at age 40? That is what Kobe Bryant did every day. In the biography Showboat, by Roland Lazenby it goes through his life stories and all of the challenges he faced. Kobe Bean Bryant was born in America, but his whole childhood he was raised in Italy. Kobe Bryant Played for the Los Angeles Lakers for his whole career. In my opinion, Kobe himself is his biggest enemy. He ruins the passing when he is in the game. Will he learn how to play as a team or will he get benched? Later in his career he was charged with some very serious crimes. The book is very descriptive and provides the reader with a good feel for what it is like to be Kobe Bryant. This book is for people that like to learn about people's lives. This book would probably be good for 7th grade and up.

Other then when sometimes he curses but that’s when they are losing and he’s just keeping it 100.kobe was only 16 when he entered the NBA playing against Micheal Jordan and them and was dominating. Micheal Jordan is the 2nd best player ing the league we WAS Now he retired from baseball and basketball. He was a fonimanal all-around sports player player.kobe bryants wife name is Vanessa Bryant. In high school kobe went to his senior prom with Brandy the singer also known a Ray-J’S SISTER.Kobe Bryant is like a great role model for kids if you wanna be a basketball player look up to kobe he will lead u thereut this book.
