i think the biggest barrier for cohesion under dantoni is kobe
however, didnt dantoni play with his pops joe in italy? and he used to see kobe as a kid balling? lol
could account for less stubbornness from kobe
Kobe loves D'antoni. He said himself that he would be his 2nd most preferable option after Phil.
Gotta remember Kobe chose #8 because that was D'antoni's number in Italy. They are very close.
