well from 2005-2007 the lakers were rebuilding
from 2011 to 2016 lebron was colluding and kobe was on the decline or basically semi retired from an achilles rupture
and from 2008 to 2010 kobe was hurt a lot during the regular season and dealing with hand/knee injuries
he won in the playoffs in spite of all his problems but for the most part lebrons teams had a clear advantage
however 1 on 1 kobe dominated lebron
