Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 4-7. This entry in the Lerner Sports Biography series offers a very readable, attractive introduction to the young NBA sensation. Simple writing, compelling biographical details, and plenty of quotes from family and team members combine with exciting courtside anecdotes and good-quality photos, most in color. The book follows Bryant through the 1999-2000 season, so it will already seem dated to children looking for up-to-the-minute information. Even so, it offers a fine background history on a rising star with legions of young fans. Sports terms, highlighted in the text, are defined in an appended glossary, and source notes and fan-club information are appended. Gillian Engberg

The Kid,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kobe Bryant: Basketball Big Shot (Sports Achievers Biographies) (Paperback)
1. About Kobe Bryant and his life as a teenager in a man's game.
and how he was cocky and always embarrassed people with the killa crossovers. His rookie year was only bad because he was a target. 2. This book made my feel like not wanting to embarrass people on the court or take scrubs pride. 3. This had irony because when you watch the games players seem to be nice to each other and they like each other. Almost everyone who didn't play on his team didn't like him. 4. Every person who likes superstars in the NBA should read this book about one of the best superstars in the NBA.
