The Mamba Mentality by Kobe Bryant Book Summary

The Mamba Mentality: How I Play is Kobe Bryant’s 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 “The Black Mamba” 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 “Mamba mentality.” Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to play it “the right way,” 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. They’ll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career.

Bryant’s 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 Bryant’s 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 Bryant’s narrative and Bernstein’s photos make The Mamba Mentality an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the career of one of the world’s most celebrated and fascinating athletes.

100% Recommended. This book was absolutely thrilling and amazing!

AmaZing. I think this book is so inspiring I’m not even a basketball fan but mamba mentality it’s definitely an inspirational book Rest In Peace Kobe

Amazing Book. Life Changing.. This book has the ability to change lives. Not only did Kobe change the game of basketball by becoming the example of a true winner, he also was a winner off the court. I am still in disbelief, currently in 2022 that he is no longer here physically. He will forever be here in spirit. You, your daughter, and the other passengers will forever live on. Prayers to all of their families. This book is a must read please indulge into this masterpiece.

Wow. Such detail. Loved it!!

Good read, left something to be desired.. A nice quick read. Not exactly what I was expecting, I wanted more depth but maybe the format just makes it seem like that depth is missing when really it’s there if you want it. Gotta employ the Mamba Mentality. RIP Kob.

R.l.P Kobe. R.I.P Kobe and Gianna u guy were the people I look up to

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Great Read

The best. Really good book bc I love basketball and Kobe was one of them and I loved how he played the game. #mambamentality 💛💜

Kobe words as detailed as his games.. Great read. If you’re a fan, a must read! RIP KOBE

Kendricks Gladney (Coastal Carolina SS). Great book, get to know about the man, the myth, the legend himself. What an honor to simply read his story and pick his brain, I think you all will love the book but only the true competitors will understand his mindset. -Mamba Forever

The greatest athlete of his time.. This book is a good read for Kobe fans. A lot of basketball nerd stuff in here but entertaining none the less. A lot of things i already knew, a lot of very good images, a lot of nuance. I really enjoyed it, was good to hear it from Kobe officially in some respect.

RIP THE GOAT. I forgot how good Kobe was till I read this book he was truly the greatest of all time Micheal Jordan mid lebron mid Kareem mid Kobe would make them all get on their knees and PRAY

An excellent book. This is one of the greatest books you will ever read.

RIP Mamba. Absolutely amazing stuff. The level of excellence and greatness he achieved was astonishing. What a great read.

KOBE 🕊️❣️. KOBE 🏀 !!!! A Great Read! Get this book if you’re Looking for a Self help Book that helps you think BIGGER‼️

Mamba Mentality. Liked every little detail of Kobe’s mindset through his play style on the court. I love the cover of the book. It’s very intriguing to me how much insight was gained from Kobe’s mamba mentality.

Rest In Peace, Legend.. A storyteller at heart. His drive and motivation lives in our hearts forever. #mambamentality

Exceptional!. Exceptionally written, beautifully told. Great way to dive into a glimpse of the mind of the all time great Kobe Bryant! Rest In Peace Mamba the way you went about the game, and life will forever be close to me. Well done King!

Great 📚. We Miss You Bean!!! Great gems dropped. Applicable to all fields.

Koby rip. Still can’t believe your gone but will be using mamba mentality in my life thank you for everything great book May God have you with your baby and May you and her see how we loved you!!! Rip to all that have left this earth as well I know is all about Koby for whom he was but I also feel for all that die!!!!

Kobe. Great read. Quick & easy. I really enjoyed the motivational nuggets, even though it only had a few. Only disappointing thing was the he dint go in-depth with the situations he brought up. I guess it would have made the book longer, but some personal stories beyond the surface level would have been nice.

Simply breathtaking seeing all of Kobe’s astonishing moments. 10/10 would read again

Rip Kobe. Love it but 😭😭😭😭

It’s Kobe, cmon. Great read if your a kobe and/or sports fan. Kobe was such a student of the game throughout his career he was so in control with his game. The stories, Kobe , you will love it.

Exactly how I thought it would be. Filled with so much knowledge of the game and a few “tricks of the trade” as Kobe would say, amazing book and really enjoyed Kobe diving into details on matchups of other NBA greats and his way of preparing for them. Worth every penny Miss you Kobe

Awesome. The mamba was the greatest of all time Write that down !

Thanks Kobe. I really appreciate reading the book 💯🔥

Kobe. Greatness... pure greatness. RIP Mamba

5 star. Kobe

Such a great book! Elegantly detailed in terms of life lessons and especially lessons for the court.. Nothing

Great Book. It's very motivating and it helps you know how much work you have to put in to be great at your craft

Miss ya Kobe. Read this to hear from him one last time

Short dedication and thank you book. You don’t really learn much about the mamba mentality but hear more about Kobe stocks of some of what he considers the great players that he learn from and played with or against

This was not my expectation. I think most of us have this preconceived definition of what my mamba mentality is and after reading this book you will truly get a completely different perspective of what Kobe meant by that phrase.

Lawrence Trice Review. This book was everything to me. I’ll admit, I was never a Kobe fan growing up. DWade was my guy. But something about Kobe’s last year in the league brought more of an appreciation to his journey for me. I would occasionally watch interviews of him and watch a lot of his old highlights. He was really smart and he didn’t back down to tough questions and didn’t have a feeling of regret. Growing up, fear constantly held me back from living to my full potential. I worried about failing or what someone else would think or say. I couldn’t actually live like I should have. Kobe’s mindset was all about going through the journey and enjoying every part of it whether it was bad or good. To learn from the down falls, and to work everyday finding ways to improve yourself. To not listen to the naysayers. To understand if you mess up, that’s Ok. Now move on and create a testimony from it later. Be great and know that you are. Be passionate about your craft and don’t let anyone you work with accept less than that. Confidence is misunderstood. His sense of lack of fear didn’t mean he did not fear. But he never stay in that state. Always moved on and continued to be great. That’s what I continue to learn from Kobe Bryant. -LT

Great to read. We miss you Kobe!

Just pray. Dear Kobe, if you are there some where I just want you to know that everyone loves you. All we can do is pray. Guy if you are seeing this the only way to thank Kobe is to pray. Kobe is such a nice guy. I’m sure he went with God. Please pray for him

Gone too soon. A good easy read giving insight to his mentality. It seems like this was practice for greater work in the future.

100. It’s amazing

Best book ever. Because you’re so good and so sad it reminds me of his death and I recommend you guys buying

Amazing book by Kobe. This book made me see things different I will now work harder everyday to become a better basketball player.Rest In Peace Kobe Bean Bryant.

81. Honest book, insightful & 100% Kobe

Inspiration that I will forever reference for growth. This book was everything I wanted to read and more. There is a reason that Kobe has touched my heart, hangs on a poster in my room, and crosses my mind everyday. When I train I remember that I’m only 40% deep and have countless hours of training left. Head down and grinding, head up and observing how to defeat the competition while perfecting my craft. My dedication will never leave me because he reminded me of its value. RIP Kobes & thank you for the mentality <3

R.I.P Kobe and Gigi #2 #24. You will be missed

Loved it. Kobe is my idol and I love him even more now the determination he shows throughout his career and life just makes me strive to be better

The Eye-opener!!!. The Mamba Mentality provides insight into the game of basketball beyond imagination. It shows you what you need to do to up your game mentality, physically, and spiritually. Kobe Bryant provides you with the information that you can implement to your game to become the very best!

Rip to the🐐. Rip no 🧢

Excellent. Excellent book especially for someone looking to advance their basketball game and get an edge

Great book. This book has a lot of tips and cool secrets Kobe has learned over his career and really helps people understand what the mamba mentality really is. It has a lot of pictures that will bring back memories. It’s well written but I would recommend this for teens or pre teens due to the fact that the pictures fill up every other page

Loved the book!!!. Not just a book about an sports star but a book about an analytical person
