Social cues elude Kobe, and he speaks whatever is on his mind. Kobe's reasoning for concepts exists on a different plane, but despite the seemingly-random way he processes information, they are always consistent.
Kobe speaks multiple languages, so his pronunciation is not very good. Neither is his grammar and ability to process certain phrases. Kobe cannot understand implicit instructions, only explicit ones. It gets him into plenty of trouble.
Kobe gets himself into a ridiculous amount of trouble just by being himself. He may thinks he can lay low, but everywhere he goes, Kobe causes chaos.
Kobe can execute instructions perfectly. If he cannot execute your instructions, that simply meant the instructions were flawed or not specific enough. All the time he is just trying to enjoy life and doing his best.
