Kobe Bryant is a legend - The Rise is a fascinating look at his
early life and how he became regarded as one of basketball's
greatest-ever players. Kobe Bryant's death in January 2020 did more
than rattle the worlds of sports and celebrity. It took the tragedy
of that helicopter crash to reveal the full breadth and depth of
Kobe's influence. By tracing and telling the oft-forgotten and
lesser-known story of his early life, The Rise promises to provide
an unparalleled insight into Kobe. In The Rise, readers travel from
the cracked concrete basketball courts of Philadelphia in the 1960s
and 70s - where Kobe's father, Joe, became a playground, college
and professional stand-out - to the majesty and isolation of
Europe, where Kobe spent his formative years, and to the leafy
suburbs of Lower Merion, where Kobe's legend was born. The story
ends with his leading Lower Merion to the 1995-96 Pennsylvania
state championship - a true underdog run for a team with just one
star player, Kobe - and with the 1996 NBA draft, where Kobe's dream
of playing pro basketball culminated with his acquisition by the
Los Angeles Lakers. With exclusive access to a series of
never-before-released interviews during Bryant's senior season and
early days in the NBA, and tapes and transcripts which have
preserved Kobe's thoughts, dreams and goals from his teenage years
for a quarter-century, Mike Sielski's The Rise uncovers insights
and stories that have never been revealed before. This is an
exploration of the making of an icon and the effect of his
development on those around him - the essence of the man before he
truly became a man.
