An intimate exploration of Kobe Bryant’s formative years and the making of a basketball icon.

The Rise offers a compelling look at Kobe Bryant’s beginnings, tracing his story from the basketball courts of Philadelphia in the 1960s and 70s, where his father Joe made a name for himself, to his upbringing in Europe, and finally to the suburban town of Lower Merion where Kobe’s legend truly took shape.
