Kobe once wrote a book "The Wizenard Series: Training Camping". The book is based on parts of Bryant's real-life experiences, especially when he played for the Los Angeles Lakers.

All of the young kids on the team come from a poor neighborhood. No one thinks they can succeed. But things change after a new coach (教练) joins the team.
