Kobe coping with spectator role

Kobe Bryant wasn't happy about spending Christmas Day on the sideline, unable to help the struggling Los Angeles Lakers.
It's a place he is unaccustomed to being on the holiday. Bryant leads the NBA with a record 15 appearances on Christmas Day, but he is out for up to six weeks with a fracture in his left knee.
"It's strange to be coming in on Christmas and not playing," he said before the Lakers' 101-95 loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday. "It's a foreign feeling, but I'm here to support my guys."
