The Streaker: Kobe Bryant doesn't get the Ice Bucket Challenge

Kobe Bryant has joined the ranks with James Harrison of athletes who don't quite understand the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Instead of getting a bucket full of ice and water dumped on him, Bryant is instead sitting in a 48 degree recovery tub. After nominating, among others, USWNT player Sidney Leroux, Bryant dunks his own head below the surface in order to get the desired effect.

That's not to say what Bryant did wasn't incredibly uncomfortable, but substituting something he's done after each of his more than 1,400 games in the NBA sort of feels like a cop out. At least Harrison's tub was filled with actual ice.

Then again, I guess that's just that #MambaMentality.
