Just months after passing away Kobe Bryant’s new book “Season One” has been released.
“Season One” is a follow-up to his New York Times Best Seller “The Wizenard Series: Training Camp,” which centers around a basketball player named Reggie, who dreams of superstardom.
The announcement was made on Kobe’s Instagram which was updated for the first time since his death.
The post read, “Welcome back to Dren! We hope you are all ready to catch up with the West Bottom Badgers for another magical basketball season. The #Wizenard Series: Season One is OUT NOW.????????????.”
Wesley King, the book’s author tweeted, “Official release day. Bittersweet without my collaborator, but grateful to see the words live on. This is a book about chasing your dreams.”
King recently opened up, telling People magazine, “His family was first and foremost… I knew that within five minutes of meeting him. His daughters were always brought up [and] he was forever calling me while waiting in line to pick them up.”
Wesley emphasized, “He was really focused on changing kids’ lives and empowering the next generation of young athletes, especially females.” King said, “It almost sounds cliché, but he’d say, ‘If one kid picks this book up and finds the faith in himself to persevere, we did our job…’ We’re doing this for that one kid.”
