About the Book

UN TRIBUTO A LA LEYENDA MÁS IMPORTANTE DEL BALONCESTO MUNDIAL DE LOS ÚLTIMOS AÑOS.

#ETERNOKOBE

«KOBE ME ENSEÑÓ A SER UN GANADOR. GRACIAS KOBE.» PAU GASOL

La muerte de Kobe Bryant en enero de 2020 estremeció el mundo de los deportes y las celebridades. La tragedia de ese accidente de helicóptero puso de manifiesto lo lejos que llega su influencia en nuestra cultura. El ascenso es un riguroso trabajo de investigación periodística en el que se cuenta la historia a menudo olvidada y menos conocida de los primeros años de la vida de Kobe Bryant.

En este libro los lectores viajarán desde las calles del suroeste de Filadelfia, donde el padre de Kobe, Joe, se convirtió en un destacado jugador de baloncesto, al aislamiento de la familia Bryant en Italia, donde Kobe pasó sus años de formación, a los suburbios de Lower Merion, donde nació la leyenda de Kobe. La historia seguirá su carrera y su vida en Lower Merion, donde llevó a los Aces a conseguir el campeonato estatal de Pensilvania en la temporada 1995-96, y el periodo previo al draft de la NBA de 1996, donde el sueño de Kobe de jugar en el baloncesto profesional culminó tras ser elegido por Los Angeles Lakers.

Para la documentación de este libro, Mike Sielski tuvo una gran ventaja sobre otros escritores que han intentado hacer una crónica de la vida de Kobe: tuvo acceso de manera exclusiva a una serie de entrevistas con él nunca antes publicadas durante su temporada sénior y los primeros días en la NBA. Durante veinticinco años, estas cintas y transcripciones preservaron los pensamientos, sueños y metas de Kobe, de su adolescencia, y contenían conocimientos e historias sobre él que nunca antes se habían contado.

Mucho más que un libro sobre baloncesto, El ascenso es una exploración de la identidad y la creación de un icono: la esencia del hombre antes de que realmente se convirtiera en hombre.
«El camino de Kobe hacia la NBA y su breve pero significativa vida después de su carrera hacen que su historia sea única. Mike Sielski nos cuenta esa historia basada en una investigación meticulosa y representada con ideas claras.» Bob Costas

«Todo superhéroe necesita una historia de origen. Luke Skywalker. Clark Kent. Bruce Wayne. Y ahora, gracias a Mike Sielski, el ascenso de Kobe Bryant puede entenderse y apreciarse por completo.» Jeff Pearlman, autor de El circo de los tres anillos.

Una mirada íntima a la vida de Kobe Bryant, una de las figuras más cautivadoras y trascendentales de nuestra cultura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A compelling origin story of a time that really wasn't so long ago but through the lens of tragedy feels like forever. Kobe-ologists will devour this book, reveling in the anecdotes about his intensity & the engaging game recaps. ―Associated Press

"Every superhero needs an origin story." -Jeff Pearlman

The inside look at one of the most captivating and consequential figures in our culture―with never-before-heard interviews.

Kobe Bryant's death in January 2020 did more than rattle the worlds of sports and celebrity. The tragedy of that helicopter crash, which also took the life of his daughter Gianna, 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 neighborhood streets of Southwest Philadelphia―where Kobe's father, Joe, became a local basketball standout―to the Bryant family's isolation in Italy, 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 in his acquisition by the Los Angeles Lakers.

In researching and writing The Rise, Mike Sielski had a terrific advantage over other writers who have attempted to chronicle Kobe's life: access to a series of never-before-released interviews with him during his senior season and early days in the NBA. For a quarter century, these tapes and transcripts preserved Kobe's thoughts, dreams, and goals from his teenage years, and they contained insights into and told stories about him that have never been revealed before.

This is more than a basketball book. This is 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.
About the Author: MIKE SIELSKI es columnista de The Philadelphia Inquirer y autor de varios libros. The Associated Press Sports Editors lo eligió como el mejor columnista deportivo del país en 2015. Vive en Pensilvania con su esposa y sus dos hijos.
