Description

Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan are widely regarded as two of the greatest basketball players in NBA history. Both led their teams to championships; and both were named MVP and All-Star multiple times. But Bryant; the "Black Mamba;" and Duncan; the "Big Fundamental;" had very different styles of play and ways of interacting with their teammates; coaches; and fans. This case offers an overview of these two champions' careers and brings up questions about leadership and how we measure effectiveness.
