The NBA
made Duncan, tbh. Who in their right mind saw skinny Timmy D when he was at Wake Forest and predicted future NBA supers om? That's right nobody. He has been protected by the refs his whole career. Had he played in the '80s, he's Brad MF'n Daughtery.
OTOH, Kobe received so much hype in HS that he became the first guard in NBA history to skip college altogether and go straight to the pros (hype was quickly justified BTW

) If Philly was smart, he would have gone #1 overall. BTW, where are the people who was drafted before him? Only one still relevant is Ray Allen.
