Kobe tanked multiple Laker seasons through flat out stat padding.
His "obsession to win" is grossly overrated IMO, he also drove off teammates who threatened his spot light, while Booker has perpetually sought ways to make the Suns better.
Kobe was, in most ways, a superior player, but if you gave Booker Kobe's athletic gifts, he'd be an absolute monster, his lack of high level athleticism is his primary weakness. And if Kobe had Booker's mindset, Kobe doesn't break up the early 2000s laker dynasty, he also doesn't tank that Detroit series by being a ball hog.
He also isn't a rapist, but that's beside the point.
No player, ever, has benefited more by circumstance than Kobe Byrant. He was a very good player, but not even remotely the best of his era. He only succeeded when his roster was swimming with unworldly talent and he was coached by, arguably, the greatest coach of all time, and when that was not the situation, he actively went about undermining his own team.
