UN TRIBUTO A LA LEYENDA MÁS IMPORTANTE DEL BALONCESTO MUNDIAL DE LOS ÚLTIMOS AÑOS.

#ETERNOKOBE

«KOBE ME ENSEÑÓ A SER UN GANADOR. GRACIAS KOBE.» --Pau Gasol

La muerte de Kobe Bryant en enero de 2020 estremeció el mundo de los deportes y las celebridades. La tragedia de ese accidente de helicóptero puso de manifiesto lo lejos que llega su influencia en nuestra cultura. El ascenso es un riguroso trabajo de investigación periodística en el que se cuenta la historia a menudo olvidada y menos conocida de los primeros años de la vida de Kobe Bryant.

En este libro los lectores viajarán desde las calles del suroeste de Filadelfia, donde el padre de Kobe, Joe, se convirtió en un destacado jugador de baloncesto, al aislamiento de la familia Bryant en Italia, donde Kobe pasó sus años de formación, a los suburbios de Lower Merion, donde nació la leyenda de Kobe. La historia seguirá su carrera y su vida en Lower Merion, donde llevó a los Aces a conseguir el campeonato estatal de Pensilvania en la temporada 1995-96, y el periodo previo al draft de la NBA de 1996, donde el sueño de Kobe de jugar en el baloncesto profesional culminó tras ser elegido por Los Angeles Lakers.

Para la documentación de este libro, Mike Sielski tuvo una gran ventaja sobre otros escritores que han intentado hacer una crónica de la vida de Kobe: tuvo acceso de manera exclusiva a una serie de entrevistas con él nunca antes publicadas durante su temporada senior y los primeros días en la NBA. Durante veinticinco años, estas cintas y transcripciones preservaron los pensamientos, sueños y metas de Kobe, de su adolescencia, y contenían conocimientos e historias sobre él que nunca antes se habían contado.

Mucho más que un libro sobre baloncesto, El ascenso es una exploración de la identidad y la creación de un icono: la esencia del hombre antes de que realmente se convirtiera en hombre.

Una mirada íntima a la vida de Kobe Bryant, una de las figuras más cautivadoras y trascendentales de nuestra cultura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A compelling origin story of a time that really wasn't so long ago but through the lens of tragedy feels like forever. Kobe-ologists will devour this book, reveling in the anecdotes about his intensity & the engaging game recaps." ―Associated Press

"Every superhero needs an origin story." -Jeff Pearlman

The inside look at one of the most captivating and consequential figures in our culture―with never-before-heard interviews.

Kobe Bryant's death in January 2020 did more than rattle the worlds of sports and celebrity. The tragedy of that helicopter crash, which also took the life of his daughter Gianna, unveiled the full breadth and depth of his influence on our culture, and by tracing and telling the oft-forgotten and lesser-known story of his early life, The Rise promises to provide an insight into Kobe that no other analysis has.

In The Rise, readers will travel from the neighborhood streets of Southwest Philadelphia―where Kobe's father, Joe, became a local basketball standout―to the Bryant family's isolation in Italy, where Kobe spent his formative years, to the leafy suburbs of Lower Merion, where Kobe's legend was born. The story will trace his career and life at Lower Merion―he led the Aces to the 1995-96 Pennsylvania state championship, a dramatic underdog run for a team with just one star player―and the run-up to the 1996 NBA draft, where Kobe's dream of playing pro basketball culminated in his acquisition by the Los Angeles Lakers.

In researching and writing The Rise, Mike Sielski had a terrific advantage over other writers who have attempted to chronicle Kobe's life: access to a series of never-before-released interviews with him during his senior season and early days in the NBA. For a quarter century, these tapes and transcripts preserved Kobe's thoughts, dreams, and goals from his teenage years, and they contained insights into and told stories about him that have never been revealed before.

This is more than a basketball book. This is an exploration of the identity and 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.

Very spacious and beautiful

A lot of my books fit on here and there’s still more room left if I wanted to buy more books. It’s a simple looking bookshelf but it’s really pretty. It’s also sturdy the only reason I gave it a 4 stars instead of 5 was because it comes with its own plastic screw anchors and they are crap. The shelves were wobbly when we installed them using the plastic screw anchors that came with the packaging. My dad set mine up and luckily he had a bunch of his own so he switched them out with better screw anchors. Once we made that switch it was perfect, there was no wobble or shaking at all. So that’s my only piece of advice. Besides for the screw anchors everything else is perfect

Super easy to install. I use different wall anchors. The anchors like all anchors that come with shelves are not great. The shelves look very clean on the wall.

This product exceeded my expectations. The installation process was incredibly straightforward—even for someone with little to no experience—and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Once installed, it feels very sturdy and secure, with no wobbling or shifting at all. You can tell it’s well-designed and made with quality materials. I also appreciated how quickly I was able to set everything up without needing any extra tools or help. Overall, it’s a reliable, user-friendly product that I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for something dependable and easy to install. Drill is required though.
