VIDEO: The Ice Bucket Challenge is nothing new for Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant is a well-known proponent of taking ice baths following strenuous workouts, so his take on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was unique, as most things with Bryant are.

Rather than have a bucket of ice water dumped on his head as most have done, Bryant simply dunked his head underwater when he was already in an ice bath. The thermostat checks in at about 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bryant calls out Nike CEO Mark Parker as one of his challenges, so we'll see if the Kobe 9 Elite Low Beethovens are slower to market now as a result.
