Kobe thought about going to Duke, do you think he would had been a better player if Coach K had him???

Question

for a year or two? I am a Kobe fan and i dont think there is anything wrong with him personally but i do think one or 2 years at Duke may have been helpful for his image to all these haters. I think it would had helped him to devolpe into a team player sooner if he had Coach K for a season at Duke...

Answer 1

I think it would have tarnished his imagine even more, if he would have gone to duke he most certainly would have ended up the 1 or 2 pick in the draft. Then the haters would complain even more because as the high draft pick people would expect more from him. See the reason so many haters complain is because kobe was picked so high in the draft and emerged as one of the greatest players in the NBA. Of course that's not the main reason i'm just saying that's one of the reasons.

Answer 2

Coach K is probably the reason why Kobe didn't go to Duke, because if he had gone to Duke he would have been coached.  And we all know what a terrible thing THAT is to do to Kobe.

Answer 3

how much better can he get??

Answer 4

maybe he wouldve won more mvps

yea i think he would get better

good question

Answer 5

Talent wise he is really a freak of nature anyway.

But all the dumb things he sais to reporters and even his fans and even his team?

Coach K could've helped with that.

Answer 6

yea I agree

Answer 7

LOL you are an intresting individual. Kobe in college he would have ended up with a beer belly and 10 baby mamas!

Answer 8

i think it definitley would have helped him (even though he turned out great anyways).. that year or two at duke could have showed him how important the concept of team is and how to handle clutch situations which he had a problem with early in his career(remember the airballs in the playoffs in the clutch)..he also would have had a great chance at a national title or two as well..

Answer 9

Um, how much better could he be?

I doubt he would have gone to Duke...

UNC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

Absolutely.  Kobe was never really trained in the fundamentals of team basketball.  In high school, he was the man and could do whatever he wanted.  He took that mentality to the NBA.  Although he's gotten better and learning how to play within the team concept, even after 12 years in the NBA it's not where it should be.  The problem is that, coming in as a rookie, he had to deal with all the stuff that normal rookies have to deal with, but without the knowledge and experience gained from playing college ball.

Answer 11

how could he possibly be better than what he already is?

he has 3 rings, an mvp, and always makes the all star team, he is #1

Answer 12

I think a few years at Duke would have done Kobe Bryant a lot of good. Mike Krzyzewski doesn't just make great basketball players, but great men. Just read Grant Hill's forward in Coach K's book, Leading With the Heart.
