Told in a new Who HQ Now format for trending topics, this Who Was? biography details NBA superstar Kobe Bryant’s legendary career and the impact of his legacy on the sports world and beyond.
Kobe Bryant was just an eighteen-year-old high-school basketball player when he decided to enter the National Basketball Association’s draft. Though he was the thirteenth overall pick by the Charlotte Hornets, he would never play a single game for them. Instead, Kobe was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, where he would spend his entire twenty-season career, winning five championships and numerous awards. Author Ellen Labreque takes readers through each exciting moment, from his iconic dunks to his 81-point game–all the milestones that span Kobe Bryant’s legendary career and legacy.

Title: Perfect for my students
Review: My third graders love this series of books. Several of them even keep lists so they can check them off as they read them. They’re highly engaging for kiddos who are fans of nonfiction. The pictures give extra info to go along with the text. Timelines in the back of the book make it easy for readers to keep track of events in the books. Perfect for avid and reluctant readers alike!

Title: Good Book but some adult topics
Review: Just as a heads up to parents, this was a great book about an amazing athlete who was taken too soon. The book does briefly mention Kobe being accused of sexual assault. My 4th grade son’s book report asked for a word from the book the he was unfamiliar with, and that was the one he picked out. It was only a sentence or two about it. We had a good open and honest conversation about what it was, but didn’t want any other parents to be caught off guard. It was a high interest book that was quick and easy to read.

Title: Shorter than usual
Review: Great book with a lot of interesting information. My 10 year old son loves to read these books. He read this one very quickly before bed one night. It made me sad that it was so short because it’s sad that he had to die at such a young age when he had so much living left to do. So great book but just short.

Review: 英語学習の一環として購入。主要なエピソードがまとめられていて良かった。特に81点の話と引退試合の60点の話があり、満足。エアボールをしても、シュートを打ち続けるメンタリティーがコービーの魅力。今でも引退試合はYouTubeで見る。
