The moronic level in this thread is off the chart even for getbig standards, but saying coach k doesn't recruit players like kobe has to be near the top. Take one fucking guess where kobe has started numerous times he would have went to college had he done so. Coach k recruits the top level of players every year, including the one-and-doners.
Where the fuck do you think their relationship was built when kobe was personally asking k to come coach the Lakers when phil left? And k saying being able to coach kobe would be the only place that he would ever consider leaving Duke. People have so much hate for kobe and love licking the shit out of mj asshole they cant help but post the stupidest, most completely wrong garbage about kobe
You obviously don't realize who coach K recruits. Coach K doesn't recruit ball players that act like they are starring in their own And 1 commercial. He recruits players that are good at being team players, not ones that are "all about me". These players that he recruits also are academically inclined as well.
If you followed Coach K's teams from the Grant Hill ones to now, you will see the type of players coach K recruits. Many are Not the top crop, not the Stars, but are very good, and he can woo them with the fact when they graduate, they have a degree from Duke, which has more cache than say Michigan or Cincinnati or UVA or U of Md.
Kobe being who he is, might have done well at Duke, that is if he learned how to be a team player and a leader. But, who knows, he never went.
