A few things about this:
USA Basketball did a group Ice Bucket Challenge, nominated Barack Obama
This was not a fair Ice Bucket Challenge.
1. We’re not here to show you every instance in which an athlete does the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS support, but six members of USA basketball in a single ice water dump is a pretty solid haul for one video.
2. Six players divided by three buckets equals one bucket for every two players, right? Not quite. DeMarcus Cousins and Kenneth Faried get a pretty even bath. Rudy Gay and DeMar DeRozan each get soaked pretty well. The guy on the James Harden/Stephen Curry bucket DOUSES Harden and almost completely misses Curry.
Steph actually leans into it a bit to get some water on his scalp. He is otherwise pretty much dry by the end of this. Being the team speaker has its benefits, I guess. Maybe that bucket-pourer is a Warriors guy. Or a Thunder guy, I guess.
3. I’m sure lots of people taking this challenge have tried to pass it on to Obama and/or Oprah, but six USA basketball players doing the challenge has to be our best shot of actually getting the president (Do I mean Obama or Oprah? Up to you.) to do this. And Adam Silver.
4. Why these six guys?
5. Just a reminder that there’s a reason everyone’s doing this. Donations go here.
(Update: Alternate angle confirms all of the above.)
