Video: Coach K Channels Kobe Bryant At Duke Commencement, "Coach K Out"
Mike Krzyzewski has served as Kobe Bryant's coach during two Summer Olympics (2008 and '12), so it makes sense that the Duke coach would channel the now-retired Los Angeles Lakers' star during a graduation speech.
Giving the commencement speech to the Blue Devils' graduating class, Coach K dropped a line similar to the one Bryant did following his final game with the Lakers.
"Mamba out," Bryant said to the STAPLES Center crowd.
"Coach K out," Krzyzewski said today.
Here's video, from the Duke Chronicle.
