Kobe Bryant's 'The Mamba Mentality' book to be released in October

Fresh off an Oscar win for his short film "Dear Basketball" and alongside his continued work across ESPN platforms, Kobe Bryant plans to add "author" to his resume with "The Mamba Mentality: How I Play", which will be published in October.

Full of Bryant's musings on preparation and his own career, along with forewords by Pau Gasol and Phil Jackson, the book will surely be a must-read for Bryant and NBA fans alike as it pulls back the curtain further on "The Black Mamba".
