NBA legend Kobe Bryant is coming to Australia.

The five-time NBA champion, often placed among the greatest players to ever lace up a basketball shoe, will present The Mamba Mentality Experience, an interactive presentation about his life, his tips for success, the amazing career he has had on and off the court, as well as the stories of the people he has played with and met throughout his journey.

“It’s just me and the basket, the court and my imagination, dreams,” the 40-year-old said.

The Mamba Mentality is also the name of Bryant’s debut book, which describes itself as a “deep dive inside the mind of one of the most revered athletes of all time”.

Bryant retired from basketball in 2016, completing a stunning 20-year career on the court with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The iconic shooting guard also claimed two Olympic gold medals in basketball for the USA at Beijing and London.

“The Mamba Mentality Experience” will be held in Melbourne on Wednesday 6th March at The Palladium Ballroom at the Crown Entertainment Complex, 8 Whitman St. Southbank Melbourne.
