NBA legend LeBron James' son, Bryce James, nominated his Sierra Canyon teammate Jayden Alexander for the trending USC "Speak Your Mind" challenge. In a video reshared by Bryce on his Instagram Story on Sunday, the 6-foot-2 senior guard accepted the challenge, then passed it on to a few more high school hoopers.

The USC "Speak Your Mind" challenge, inspired by the viral ALS Ice Bucket challenge, was started by the ‘MIND’ (Mental Health Needs Discussion) club from the University of Southern California. It aims to spread awareness about the importance of mental health.

The challenge involves nominating others before getting drenched in a bowl or bucket of cold water. In the video, Jayden thanked Bryce for the nomination, then called out Bryce Cofield, Alijah Arenas, and a couple of others to take it on next.
