No question Koke is one of the greatest players of all time, hands down.
However, I would question is on court brilliance.
Comparing Kobe's shooting %'s to other players and you can quickly see his lack of brilliance.
The guy is an extreme ballhog, who refuses to pass the ball to a open teammate, he would rather chuck-up a off balance shot while being double or triple teamed then pass to an open teammate.
He clearly without question DOES NOT UNDERSTAND his own capabilities. He thinks he is much better than he really is, and every now and then he does make an incredible off balance shot that gets replayed over and over again on ESPN as though he does stuff like that all the time which is not true.
He misses far and away more of those off balance shots which we never see replays of.
A guy with true brilliance understands his true capabilities, and understands that the %'s favor your team to pass the ball to a open teammate before taking a off balance bad shot while being double or triple teamed.
Kobe once said, he does not pass to a open teammate because he trust himself more, that whileplaying on a team that won 3 straight NBA Championships.
So your telling me he could not find a single player on a tean which won 3 straight NBA Championships to trust taking a shot, again no question that shows lacks of brilliance and it shows he is a extreme ballhog in my opionon, and the evidence seems to support it.
And that folks is why Kobe's shooting % simply do not match-up with other great players
Ask Phil Jackson, he'll be happy to tell you how much of a ballhog Kobe is and how much he would not listen.
