• Kobe was an exceptional playmaker, particularly out of the pick-and-roll, using his scoring gravity to find open teammates and adapt to various defensive coverages.
• Kobe's defense was versatile enough to guard multiple positions and handle point guards, though his off-ball defense and lack of elite defensive motor kept him from being an elite defensive stopper during his peak.
