The Kobe Bryant Story: The Mamba Mentality, From Italy to Immortality

April 2013. Kobe Bryant tears his Achilles tendon — and still walks to the line and makes both free throws. This is the animated story of the mind behind the Black Mamba. The boy who grew up in Italy, the high-school phenom who skipped college, the rookie with four airballs, three titles with Shaq, the fall of 2003, the birth of the Black Mamba and the 81-point game, five championships, the Achilles, 60 points in his final game, an Oscar for Dear Basketball — and the foggy morning of January 26, 2020.
