Even though I said LeBron >= Clyde, I'm not sure he's a better defensive player than Clyde. And while LeBron is better offensively, Clyde was no slouch. We're talking a guy who could get 27 ppg, or 8 rpg, or 8 apg. On good percentages. One who could get 2.7 spg and one who I believe has the second most blocks of any guard in NBA history.
Nash, Hakeem, even Rasheed aren't slouches either . . . you are talking some of the greatest players in NBA history but in a straight up comparisom LeBron is the better player with equivalent stats in a slower offense and playing his natural position plus he can adjust to Drexler's speed better than Clyde can adjust to LeBron's strength.

I looked at the 2 teams in comparison and thought "wow why would anyone even pit these 2 teams together when one is clearly superior", then I looked over at the original poster's avatar (a picture of Kobe) and I understood. Any chance to put Kobe's name in front of Michael's right Kobe/Laker fans? I bet the original poster wanted to write Team Kobe vs. Team MJ, but that would be too blatantly obvious.

Prime Payton > Nash
Kobe < Jordan
Lebron > Drex
KG > Rasheed
Wilt vs Hakeem (no idea because i'm not that old)
The Talent seems to be slightly stacked in Kobe's favour. That being said, I think team Hakeem (shouldn't it be MJ's team?) would win because although they may be slightly less talented, each player has a better defined role on that team. With Nash distrubuting and MJ on the team. Everyone would clearly defer to Jordan, much like this dream teams. Trying to distinguish between who the offense goes through when you have lebron, kobe, kg and wilt can be quite challenging
