To honour the man who didn’t play by the book, 
we turned NBA’s Rules Book into Kobe’s Rules Book.

After 20 years in NBA, Kobe Bryant retired.
To celebrate his legacy, ESPN made a unique gift.
NBA’s Rules Book was completely transformed by painting, illustration, stencil and needlework.
Each page represents an important moment of Kobe’s career, such as his 81-point game and his 5 championship rings.
We created 24 books. 23 to NBA lovers. 1 to Kobe.
