You've seen Kobe play, and play like this, enough to know it's not alignment-driven. Here is the profile I'm using to read Kobe, and you can tell me if you disagree.
He is a very confident player, who likes to use tone aggressively to pressure players into following him. He is loud, he is brash, and unfortunately, can be wrong a fair bit too. The reason for this is that he considers his perspective first, as one should, but then doesn't consider different angles from his own point of view, and then assumes that divergence must indicate either stupidity or scum. It is, in a word (and I used it earlier), hubristic. As scum, he leans into this to double down on his arguments, giving it a degree of calculation behind it, and ultimately the arguments pushed are empty. Otherwise, like in your game, he is liable to stay back from the main discussions and chimenuo when he needs to. As town, this whole thing is often more emotional, as he becomes frustrated that others don't follow along with what he says.
I think it has been clearly the latter here. I also trust Michelle to have a good reason on players like him, she's better than I am at weighing up emotions and tone. He will probably take this the wrong way or insist I'm insulting him or something but it's intended to be a strictly top-down analysis of his play style, when he catches onto the right things he will obviously be more of an asset.
