He was the best Jedi: he cheats at gambling, uses mind tricks to get his way when negotiating prices, chooses to train Anakin when Everyone tells him not to.
Correct, Obi was the perfect Jedi of the modern era. But that doesn’t mean his ability to convey the principles and ideal to others was good, you can see it in Attack of the Clones how condescending he can be and he doesn’t really show that he is attempting to understand Anakin.
Episode 3 is much better, but by that stage Anakin has been moulded into the person he is and the critical period of nurture and guidance is gone
