If you're not going to give Kobe to the 2013 Lakers too I don't see how they could be better.

I think it's better to have none of the teams have Kobe playing for em. Have his teammates from each era go at it. Either way the 1997 team has too much fire power around a more dominate Center.
As soon as young Shaq finds out who Dwight Howard is, what he did, etc it'll be over. He'll use it all as fuel and make it a goal to show him up. Dwight wont get destroyed though but he still wont have much chance even with Nash throwing him the ball and World Peace helping him one way or another.
The 1997 Lakers have too much fire power listed here, not to mention Cedric Ceballos. If I'm the coach I'd have Eddie Jones guard Nash instead of Nick the Quick, and then put Nick on Steve Blake instead.
Put Prime Bryon Scott in the line up at the 3, and have Elden come off the bench when the lead is save enough for them to let the Big man have a rest. Which would probably be by half time.

How is Kobe coming off the bench in his prime in 97?

Why is Kobe not included on the 2013 roster? Also prime Kobe is several leagues above prime Eddie and prime Van Exel. He would be starting over them easily
