Kobe Bryant is staying busy in retirement.
The Lakers legend and future Hall of Famer on Tuesday announced he has a book coming out this fall.
The book, titled "The Mamba Mentality: How I Play," will chronicle how Bryant "approached the process and the craft" during his 20-year career in Los Angeles. It will showcase images captured by Lakers photographer Andrew D. Bernstein and also include an introduction from former coach Phil Jackson as well as a foreword from Spurs center Pau Gasol.
"For the first time, and 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," MCD Books said in a release. "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 book is set to be released Oct. 23, which is the first week of the 2018-19 NBA season.
