The Mamba Mentality: How I Play is Kobe Bryantยs personal perspective of his life and career on the basketball court and his exceptional, insightful style of playing the game?a fitting legacy from the late Los Angeles Laker superstar. In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe ยThe Black Mambaย Bryant decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary ยMamba mentality.ย Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to play it ยthe right way,ย The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative basketball players ever. In his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game, but to excel. Readers will learn how Bryant studied an opponent, how he channeled his passion for the game, how he played through injuries. Theyยll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career. Bryantยs detailed accounts are paired with stunning photographs by the Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein. Bernstein, long the Lakers and NBA official photographer, captured Bryantยs very first NBA photo in 1996 and his last in 2016?and hundreds of thousands in between, the record of a unique, twenty-year relationship between one athlete and one photographer. The combination of Bryantยs narrative and Bernsteinยs photos make The Mamba Mentality an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the career of one of the worldยs most celebrated and fascinating athletes.

Interesting read though. It's a short memoir, had a different perception.
I thought this book will be about his autobiography and his life overall. About his struggle, upbringing, lessons learnt etc. Basically a motivation book. Maybe, I did not researched it properly before buying. It has a bunch of 200-300 unique photos of Kobe about his lessons which is learnt on the field which is explained in pointers or a short parahraph. Kobe has spoken about his teammates, opposition, coaches and support staff in a short memoir. All hail the mamba mentality.

GOAT - One & Only KB-24
Thank you Kobe for entertaining and mesmerizing us with your performance for 2 decades. You truly are legend of the game. Thank you for writing this book which gives us a window to see your determination, focus, drive and energy. That's what Kobe called "Mamba Mentality". The way he read, study, understood and played basketball was unparalleled in game's history. The lessons that Kobe shared with us are valuable and should be inculcated in our lives to excel in professional and personal lives. Credit must go to Mr. Bernstein for clicking such beautiful pictures of Kobe and putting them in book. The book would have been incomplete without these pictures. The legend went away too soon. But your memories you created will live on and your words will keep on inspiring younger generations. REST IN PEACE KB-24 โค๏ธโค๏ธ

You will learn something about life, basketball, a performance based mindset. Or all three.
An insight into Kobe's thought process. His obsession for the game, his analytical side, his drive for achieving greatness, his faith. His message is simple to read, challenging to follow. Definitely worth recommending. Reading this is a pleasure and this book subtly encourages you to develop your own mamba mentality!

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 isnโt unfortunately. Five stars is for the book. Breathtaking pictures and amazing narrative ๐๐
