Bryant, written by
Mike Sager for the Esquire.
Based on five days
spending with Bryant, Sager conducts a story of him, who Sager described as "the
most misunderstood figures in sports today."
Sager clearly
organizes the story by different topics. He conveys three main aspects -career,
family and public image -- of Bryant in three different scenes.
Another good thing
about the profile is writing in the first person. Because it could bring the
audiences close to the subject - a celebrity that is far away from our daily
life -- and attract people's attention.
I think the first
paragraph of the story didn't conduct very well, compiling too many details
without showing the name, which just makes it awkward.
But the details
work pretty well in the photo-taking story, which Sager brings a great amount
of conversation between Bryant and his wife.
