When Kobe Bryant wants to sit on the bench, Kobe Bryant gets to sit on the bench. That's how it works. Rookie Larry Nance Jr. was reminded of that tonight and got booted to the floor, like a kindergartner, so Bryant (who was out with a sore shoulder) could take his place on his folding metal throne.

In sports, seniority rules! So said Michael Irvin seconds before he stabbed a teammate in the neck with a pair of scissors.

Come to think of it, Nance Jr. got off pretty easy.
