The FreeDarko Book website is live. A few excerpts from the book are available on the site. About Kobe Bryant:
While it’s hard to argue with the outcomes in his life, the process behind Bryant’s perfection–the “how” of his imposing “what”–hides a humanity even more craggy and flawed than our own. He alarms us by appearing both above and beneath us, inspiring exultation and revulsion alike. And for all his brazen confidence, there’s no qeustion that the ever-isolated Kobe sustains himself through a similarly combustible dynamic.
TrueHoop previews the book. I haven’t been excited for a book release since maybe ever, now that I think about it. I usually have to set time aside to read any FreeDarko posts, because they’re basically essays, but it’s always worth it. And how can you not like a site that previews the season with blurbs about upcoming games—every. single. game.
