SHOWBOAT - THE DEFINITIVE KOBE BRYANT BIOGRAPHY (SPANISH).

SHOWBOAT - THE DEFINITIVE KOBE BRYANT BIOGRAPHY.
Lazenby, Roland

Eighteen-time All-Star, 81-point scorer in a single game, 2007-08 MVP, two FinalsáMVPá awards, 15 All-NBA selections, third on the all-time NBA scoring list, five Championship Rings in his pocket, and one of the greatest point guards in American league history, Kobe Bryant is an indisputably legendary figure and deserving of a biography as in-depth and definitive as this one.

Even in the flashiest franchise in all of sports, the Los Angeles Lakers, where he played his entire career, Bryant, known by the nickname Showboat since his rookie days, was always the centre of attention and his play captivated the basketball world. Legendary and highly regarded sports journalist Roland Lazenby digs deep to look beyond the player's public image through dozens of interviews to reveal the whole picture, from childhood to his playing years to his tragic loss.

Showboat is packed with big personalities and provocative stories, including details of Bryant's complicated personal life and explosive on-court relationship, a complicated and fascinating character who claimed to know from a young age that when he grew up he would be better than Michael Jordan. Distant and uncompromising, Bryant was the great enigma of American professional basketball, and surely also the most determined player in the history of the sport, the absolute master of study and preparation. However, his career was also characterised by constant conflict: with his teammate Shaquille O'Neal, with Phil Jackson, coach of the Lakers team that won five championships led by Kobe, with his wife Vanessa, and with so many other opponents and teammates?

Comprehensive and relentless, Showboat finally unravels the enigma that was Kobe Bryant, in a fascinating and essential story for every basketball fan.
