The Mamba Mentality: How I Play is Kobe Bryant's personal perspective of his life and career on the basketball court and his exceptional, insightful style of playing the game--a fitting legacy from the late Los Angeles Laker superstar.
In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe "The Black Mamba" Bryant decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary "Mamba mentality." Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to play it "the right way," The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative basketball players ever. In his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game, but to excel. Readers will learn how Bryant studied an opponent, how he channeled his passion for the game, how he played through injuries. They'll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career. Bryant's detailed accounts are paired with stunning photographs by the Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein. Bernstein, long the Lakers and NBA official photographer, captured Bryant's very first NBA photo in 1996 and his last in 2016--and hundreds of thousands in between, the record of a unique, twenty-year relationship between one athlete and one photographer. The combination of Bryant's narrative and Bernstein's photos make The Mamba Mentality an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the career of one of the world's most celebrated and fascinating athletes.Binding Type: Hardcover

Love this bag, wish it was even bigger!
Color: Sorrel
This is a nice squishy pebbled leather crossbody tote. I'm using it as a work bag BUT it won't fit a 16 inch laptop so if that's a consideration skip this one. It does fit a 10 inch iPad and Kindle, plus a compact umbrella, wallet, over ear headphones, full size body spray and lotion, big pack of gum, several lip products and dental floss, mini hand sanitizer, small brush, pens and a notebook... So basically my whole life fits in it aside from my laptop. It smells like leather, and I love that. The brown color has lots of variations so it looks like it has a patina already. I sprayed it with Apple Garde for waterproofing and it didn't affect the feel or color of the bag at all. This bag is really pretty and I get compliments on it daily. The zipper seems sturdy and never catches or gets stuck. It molds itself to my body like a softer leather should and I would say that it's absolutely worth the price. The strap is wide, sturdy, and comfortable too. There are multiple pockets on one inner side, a zippered middle compartment, and a zippered side compartment on the inside as well, along with an outer pocket so there's plenty of organization without having to buy an insert. I wish they had this available in an even bigger size to fit a standard laptop!

Expectations not met re. bag!
Color: Navy Blue
The seller was fantastic, as he/she accepted my return and refunded me immediately. Seller gets 5 stars.
Even thou this bag is a stunning Navy Blue, BEAUTIFUL stitching, beautiful zippers and liner, wrapped professionally with TLC, I could not stand the very strong smell. I don't know if the smell was due to the navy blue color/dye or not. I can't even describe the smell... besides that it's not leather.
I was gifted the same bag in "light brown" and that bag smells like leather; it's like you are in Rome shopping for the real thing! I love that bag as I can wear it crossbody, shoulder or hand held. Unfortunately, it too small for me.
So I thought, if I am buying bigger, let's do the dark blue. Was I wrong.
I really had high expectations for this bag. :0(

Love it
Color: Sorrel
So thought I would give this purse a try. Never bought anything like this on Amazon. My much much more expensive designer brand had to be replaced. I really like this purse. It’s the perfect size and very nicely made

So cute and dressy. Fit well and bought 1/2 size smaller than usual.
I usually wear sneakers and wanted shoes that were a bit dressier for going out for dinner with my husband. I usually wear a size 7 but bought these in a size 6 1/2 as recommended. I tried them on with bulky wool blend socks that I normally wear, and they fit perfectly. Since I intend to use these boots for dress, I didn't wear them for a long period of time, but found them to be comfortable, and the heal was not too high. The top of the boot is high enough, that it would still be covered by pant legs when you sit down. I also like that the zipper opening in the side made them very easy to get on and the zipper worked very well without sticking. I also like the stacked heal vs. a higher, thinner heal. Although I used to wear 3" spike heals when I was younger, I am now 77 years old, I am more comfortable and feel safer with a thicker heal. Overall, I very much like these ankle boots, and would recommend them.
I hope this review is helpful for you.

Amazing boots!
These boys are gorgeous visually, then when you put them on you can feel the cushioning inside. So comfortable! There is plenty of room in the width, I take a 7 and it for perfectly without being tight with sock on. Outside feels so soft to touch, can't believe quality for the price!
