Kobe - Naissance d'une légende

 Français Seconde Langue (FSL)

Livre en Français  (meme si la 4e de couverture est en anglais) 

At 17 years of age, Kobe Bryant was one of the first players ever drafted directly from high school into the NBA and well on his way to becoming one of the most famous basketball players of all time. His incredible talent and pure determination had a profound and lasting impact on the world of basketball, in the U.S. and beyond. But Kobe did not start as a basketball prodigy in the U.S. He spent his childhood in Italy, where soccer reigns and few of his peers played basketball; none of them with his skill and intensity. This story takes Kobe from shooting hoops in a church playground in Rieti to playing for the LA Lakers in the NBA.

À 17 ans, Kobe Bryant était l'un des premiers joueurs à être recrutés directement du lycée à la NBA et était en passe de devenir l'un des plus célèbres basketteurs de tous les temps. Son incroyable talent et sa détermination pure ont eu un impact profond et durable sur le monde du basket, aux États-Unis et au-delà. Mais Kobe n'a pas commencé comme un prodige du basket aux États-Unis. Il a passé son enfance en Italie, où règne le football et où peu de ses camarades jouaient au basket, mais aucun avec son talent et son intensité. L'histoire de Kobe l'amène à faire des paniers dans le terrain de jeu d'une église de Rieti et à jouer pour les Lakers de Los Angeles dans la NBA.
