Kobe has no real leadership skills. Phil Jackson was the leader of those teams, as evidence from their disasterous one season without him. Kobe's reputation as a big shot guy has been proven to be vastly overstated many times. He makes a lot of big shots because he takes a lot of big shots. Having 100 makes is better than having 20, but if its 100/400 or 20/50, then one is better than the other, its just the volume doesn't match.
Kobe can't even be the best Laker ever, so there's no point in trying to proclaim him anywhere close to the best of all-time. Even if you take Derrick Rose out of the top 3, I'll take Chris Paul over Kobe too.
