Justin Bieber Was Baptized in Tyson Chandler's Bathtub

Well that's, um, bizarre.

Big man Tyson Chandler played the role of facilitator last year and came through with a clutch assist for none other than Canadian music star Justin Bieber.

Bieber was out of sorts and wanted to get right, so he naturally turned to a pastor for help, as we'll learn in the January 2016 edition of GQ magazine. Allegedly distraught, Bieber decided that he wanted to be baptized. We're not talking a few drops on the forehead here, either, but rather full-immersion baptism. Pastor Carl, who works with many celebrities, agreed to help.

Carl was having trouble finding a spot in New York City to grant Bieber's request, striking out at hotels due to paparazzi. So he turned to his friend Chandler, who was then a member of the Knicks. Unable to baptize the "Baby" star in the pool of Chandler's building (it was closed during this 2 AM mission), the center instead offered up his bathtub. Yes, that's right. Justin Bieber was baptized in Tyson Chandler's bathtub.

That's some weird shit, even by Bieber's family standards.
