Otis Chandler asked Kobe Bryant:

What are the top values you've learned in your life so far that you hope to communicate to readers through the books?

Kobe Bryant Definitely hard work, commitment, and determination. I think readers will learn through reading my books that what’s possible in life isn’t prescribed by your situation. That with hard work and dedication, you can achieve greatness. I also hope that through the books we’re publishing, readers will see the power sports and stories have in connecting people, especially those that, on the surface, you might not think you have anything in common with.

Tristan Leigh

Tristan Leigh asked Kobe Bryant:

How do you approach writing books? Do you focus more on the story-building/story-telling itself or focus more on portraying the lessons/insights you have gained over time through the story you are writing? It seems so far your books have been more focused on explaining/alluding to the Mamba mentality that so many people aspire to have, but does story-telling with different types of themes peak your curiosity at all?
