El ascenso : Kobe Bryant y la búsqueda de la inmortalidad
Book
Primera edición: febrero de 2022.
La mirada interior a una de las figuras más cautivadoras y consecuentes de nuestra cultura con material nunca antes visto. La muerte de Kobe Bryant en enero de 2020 hizo más que sacudir el mundo de los deportes y las celebridades. La tragedia de ese accidente de helicóptero reveló toda la amplitud y profundidad de su influencia en nuestra cultura, y al rastrear y contar la historia a menudo olvidada y menos conocida de sus primeros años de vida, The Rise promete brindar una visión de Kobe que ningún otro el análisis tiene. En The Rise, los lectores viajarán desde las agrietadas canchas de baloncesto de concreto de Filadelfia en las décadas de 1960 y 1970, donde el padre de Kobe, Joe, se convirtió en un lugar de juegos, universidad y profesional destacado, al aislamiento de la familia Bryant en Europa, donde Kobe pasó sus años de formación en los frondosos suburbios de Lower Merion, donde nació la leyenda de Kobe. La historia trazará su carrera y su vida en Lower Merion: llevó a las Aces al campeonato estatal de Pensilvania de 1995 a 1996, una dramática racha de desventaja para un equipo con solo un jugador estrella, y el período previo al draft de la NBA de 1996. , donde el sueño de Kobe de jugar baloncesto profesional culminó con su adquisición por parte de Los Angeles Lakers. Al investigar y escribir The Rise, Mike Sielski tendrá una gran ventaja sobre otros escritores que han intentado hacer una crónica de la vida de Bryant. Jeremy Treatman, un confidente de Kobe que lo conoció durante 28 años, realizó una serie de entrevistas nunca antes publicadas con Bryant poco después de que terminara su temporada senior. Treatman ha compartido estas transcripciones y cintas con el autor. Revelarán los pensamientos del momento de Bryant y contarán historias, conservadas durante un cuarto de siglo, que nunca antes se habían contado. Esto será más que un libro de baloncesto. Esta será una exploración de la identidad y la creación de un ícono y el efecto de su desarrollo en quienes lo rodean: la esencia del hombre antes de convertirse verdaderamente en un hombre.
The inside look at one of the most captivating and consequential figures in our culture with never-before-seen material. Kobe Bryant's death in January 2020 did more than rattle the worlds of sports and celebrity. The tragedy of that helicopter crash 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 cracked concrete basketball courts of Philadelphia in the 1960s and '70s--where Kobe's father, Joe, became a playground, college, and professional standout--to the Bryant family's isolation in Europe, 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 with his acquisition by the Los Angeles Lakers. In researching and writing The Rise, Mike Sielski will have a terrific advantage over other writers who have attempted to chronicle Bryant's life. Jeremy Treatman, a Kobe confidant who knew him for 28 years, conducted a series of never-before-released interviews with Bryant not long after his senior season ended. Treatman has shared these transcripts and tapes with the author. They will reveal Bryant's in-the-moment thoughts and tell stories, preserved for a quarter-century, that have never been told before. This will be more than a basketball book. This will be 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.
