Real or Fake? Kobe Bryant jumps over Aston Martin!!! watch!
dailymotion.com — With his Nike Hyperdunks on foot, Kobe does the unthinkable…I can’t tell if its real or not! SCARY.
- 1480 diggs
- digg it
- SvenGeiss, on 04/11/2008, -7/+141its fake but pretty good compositing... good stuff
- AKK45, on 04/11/2008, -27/+4It's fake and it is irresponsible. I can just imagine the kids trying to replicate this, hope the ERs are ready!!! But then again its Kobe, responsibility is not really his thing anyway...
- LoudNoise, on 04/11/2008, -0/+10Irresponsible? Whatever kids try this deserve the time in ER. God I fear for future generations.
- skeletorcares, on 04/11/2008, -28/+10it's as real as basketball is a sport.
- bluezinc, on 04/11/2008, -1/+12... what?...
- skeletorcares, on 04/11/2008, -16/+4basketball is for girls who like to run around with their vags out and cry 'foul' all day.
- Lanlost, on 04/12/2008, -1/+1I think you played a different game...
- AgentMull, on 04/11/2008, -1/+9So.. its very real?
- cawpin, on 04/11/2008, -1/+17I have no idea if it IS fake but I do know it probably didn't HAVE to be fake. I can't see a problem with him jumping that high.
- LordVance, on 04/11/2008, -1/+6Oh yea, he definitely could do it. The real reason we know it is absolutely fake is the chance for injury to a star athlete; Nike would never risk filming it for real (would cost them an arm and a leg if he got injured, and thats if they could even get their insurance company to go along with the "attempt").
- bluezinc, on 04/11/2008, -1/+12... what?...
- finista, on 04/11/2008, -4/+18If I pose I can clearly see it's Kobe driving the car. And the car hits a scarecrow.
- ausfahrt, on 04/11/2008, -1/+10What if you pause? Same thing?
- abeg, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4I also heard that he is demanding a TV movie about him. Starring Valerie Bert and Ernie
- ep53, on 04/12/2008, -3/+1Home Simpson FTW!!!
- SCARECR0W, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1Huh, what?
- Dokkodo, on 04/11/2008, -2/+10The car and Kobe are in different depths. The car is further in the background. You don't even have to look at the shadows (which is an obvious giveaway) to realize this.
- lechuga, on 04/12/2008, -0/+2That's not true. When he jumps, his shadow falls deeper down simply because it's an afternoon or morning.
- Drakoi, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1pause at the beginning of the jump and the car is clearly further behind kobe, as the car moves forward there is some pixel distortion as the car is brought closer to the foreground giving the impression that the car is sliding at an angle from the back left to the front right
- mastameezy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+5look at the side of the car, you can see kobe's shadow on the passenger side if he's jumping over the car his shadow should not be on the side of the car.

- Joffroi, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2This video is real and puts Kobe's to shame:
http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Ridiculous_Hurdles_Train ... - sinurgy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4Of course it's ***** fake!! Did we really need to help this stupid Nike viral get even more attention by debating the obvious?!
- ran24, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1The car just looks fake in general. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, but it looked "fuzzy".
- Neemzor, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1Thats because it was going 55 mph. duh.
- mediaphile, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2No, it's because they added motion blur.
- Neemzor, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1Thats because it was going 55 mph. duh.

- iheartboobs, on 04/11/2008, -3/+176Why would it be real? They aren't going to risk Kobe.
Is it possible to do that in real life, I'd say a few people out there can jump that high. Are you gonna get ***** up real bad if you tried and failed... yes.- crazyhorse13, on 04/11/2008, -1/+24I'd say there are a lot more than a few people who can jump that high. But I agree about them not risking Kobe.
Now if someone posts a blooper reel of failed attempts, I would digg that.- Pfkninenines, on 04/11/2008, -1/+7If there were any bloopers, chances are he wouldn't have made a real jump due to injuries..
- rune420, on 04/11/2008, -0/+45Here you go: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1811089
- mstubz, on 04/11/2008, -2/+7You can jump over anything that short as long as it is driving fast enough and you time it right. If you jump too late you're dead if you jump too soon you land on top of the car. Same thing if the car is going too slow. What he needs to do is jump over a stationary car that would be hops.
- krets, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6Search YouTube for Joey Gathright.
- ethnicman, on 04/11/2008, -3/+1you are not necesarily dead if you jump to soon. Seriously injured yes. Broken legs, at the least but not 100% probability of dead.
- Wolf04, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4He never said you're dead if you jump too soon. He said you're dead if you jump too LATE.
- vanguardanon, on 04/11/2008, -16/+3I agree completely. He could do it but he hasn't done it.
BTW, I buried it because he cheated on his wife and may have raped that woman.- knowsfear, on 04/11/2008, -2/+8FYI, no one cares.
- Misanthrope, on 04/11/2008, -13/+3I do. You're wrong.
- ChromaVita, on 04/11/2008, -2/+10I don't. I balance things out.
- knowsfear, on 04/11/2008, -2/+8FYI, no one cares.
- bluezinc, on 04/11/2008, -2/+6I have total faith that he could do it... but he didn't. No way in hell would they ever, ever, ever, ever, ever risk an NBA player let alone Kobe Bryant. If they screw up that's millions of dollars they now owe.
So on principle and logic alone, of course this is fake. However, they did a good job with making it look real. - foofightrs777, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3Yeah I mean I remember back in high school before the internet and life dug its claws into me I could clear your standard park picnic table with a running start with relative ease. So, I'd imagine that many people would be able to pull something off similar to this.
If I tried that now it'd be the def'n of "face-plant". sigh* - bizkit00, on 04/11/2008, -1/+0more like they arent gunna risk putting a dent in that sweet aston martin with his skull.
- Cowboy1015, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1It was real. But the car was not going where he's standing. The car was actually further from the camera than Kobe. If Kobe didn't jump, he's not gonna get hit anyway. It's going to his right.
- Couchy, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1This one is real, but it involves a skateboard and some plywood

Crap, did I do that at the right time?- Xecuter3, on 04/11/2008, -1/+7yea, but wrong game i think..
- serif69, on 04/11/2008, -5/+6No. Go back to 4chan.

- blackfox026, on 04/11/2008, -5/+2He's so black he drove off in that Aston Martin.
- Anpheus, on 04/11/2008, -0/+5And they asked, how much blacker could he be? And the answer is none. None more black.
- bgrah449, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1This is going to drive me crazy ... is this a Brian Reagan joke? What is that "none more" from?
- Anpheus, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1It's from This is Spinal Tap. When you watch it, make sure to turn the volume up to 11.

- seanpackage, on 04/11/2008, -7/+1He is pitch black
- Zindrix, on 04/11/2008, -11/+15Shouldn't he be in jail for rape?

- PubStomp, on 04/11/2008, -3/+3black enough to be tried for rape for no reason apparently
- serif69, on 04/11/2008, -2/+34How black is he?
- SwitchFoot777, on 04/11/2008, -38/+1ZOMG i submitted the same exact thing and it has 2 DIGGS ZOMG this sucks.
- Munceenuts, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3Did you just say "ZOMG" twice?

- S5Z2, on 04/11/2008, -8/+252Its fake because:
One he shows the shoe at the beginning (obviously an ad). Two, Kobe's NBA contract wouldn't allow him to do something that stupid. Finally, the camera is stationary so they can layer the two shots over one another. Meaning that they film Kobe jumping in the air as high as he can then they stop the camera Kobe moves out of the way and they film the car going by. Back at the editing studio they put both pictures on top of one another and it looks like Kobe jumped the moving car.- donkz, on 04/11/2008, -2/+45Special Section of NBA contract
22.a Don't do anything stupid or else...- Supurcell, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6Like getting into any legal trouble.
- xaxxon, on 04/11/2008, -0/+5Exactly - and they never do that.
- Supurcell, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6Like getting into any legal trouble.
- padrebuf, on 04/11/2008, -2/+3and then...
- andrewthrice, on 04/11/2008, -2/+2and theeeennnnn....
- alex7575, on 04/11/2008, -0/+9no and then!
- tabion, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1***** that, and then againnnnn
- andrewthrice, on 04/11/2008, -2/+2and theeeennnnn....
- bicyclethief, on 04/11/2008, -1/+6I dunno...the Lakers let him play at Rucker Park.
- thiagomga, on 04/11/2008, -5/+5Actually, the car pass by his side. Try to pause and notice the shadows.
- weeeezzll, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1also, the front wheels are not straight. they are turned. I don't know why, but I would imagine that if he was actually jumping the car then the car would drive very straight and at a consistent speed.
I also thought the shadows looked weird, but they weren't different enough to be sure. - weeeezzll, on 04/11/2008, -3/+2On second thought, i'm going to vote for this being real.
Look at the shadow of the light pole on the ground. Carefully pause and unpause the video as the car passes it. The shadow cast perfectly on the side of the car as it passes. - weeeezzll, on 04/11/2008, -0/+11On third thought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FHx_UWe7gc
- weeeezzll, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1also, the front wheels are not straight. they are turned. I don't know why, but I would imagine that if he was actually jumping the car then the car would drive very straight and at a consistent speed.
- joeallam, on 04/11/2008, -1/+10yeah its pretty close to his side, maybe he jumps over the edge of the car. if people are saying this is fake and done with two films layered over fair enough it may well have been. but then doesnt the 2 videos layered over suggest that it IS actually possible, just risky. he can clearly jump high enough and the car just needs to be at the right speed. there was nothing in the filming to make the car look smaller or make kobe look like he jumped higher.
- skyroket, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2They're not asking if it's possible. They're asking if it's fake. I think it's great that he's capable of jumping high enough, but the NBA needs him enough that they rig it up so he doesn't get hurt. Kinda like running time trials against someone instead of running the track at the same time as them.
- caramba420, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1It most certainly is possible, but way too unsafe for a professional athlete to attempt. You know they're not even allowed to engage in high-risk sports like snowboarding? I thinnk Tony Jaa did something like this, though.
- Bersy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0Do you understand the concept of perspective? Let's say the car actually passed a foot to his right, or behind him from the audience's perspective, he would indeed not need to jump as high.. the car actually did look a tiny bit too small because it was further back, but not so much so that the average person would be able to tell. Not saying he couldn't jump it, but as an illusion it is a helluva lot easier to pull off due to the aforementioned perspective.
- Whackly, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4I've no doubt that he could clear that height easily. I don't know why he would or why anyone with a say would let him. It would be a lot easier to calculate the speed of the car (to make sure his feet didn't graze the hood on the way up or the trunk on the way down) in post mortem CG than it would be to figure it out beforehand.
- Bersy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0Mythbusters could have pulled it off.
- Whackly, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Agreed, but that isn't exactly the measure of truth, is it.
- Bersy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0Mythbusters could have pulled it off.
- dfawlt, on 04/11/2008, -5/+2Wow, WTG on copy and pasting the EXACT SAME COMMENT (save the typo) from break.com, whihc btw that dude got flamed too.
- S5Z2, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Dugg for Internet Awareness. I award you +10 Internets.
- EllisAshbrook, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2GEEE thanks for explaining that!
- jpeazy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Good Call... plus the fake that he says March 31st, the day before April Fools
- thetanman, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1811089
- passedoutghost, on 04/12/2008, -0/+0It could be simpler than that. If you look closely when the car is just a few inches from Kobe and he jumps, the shadows aren't in line. The car could have driven parallel to him while he did the jump. If that's so, nice timing.
- mintcoffee, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1I think they just blue screened it. Kobe was in the studio, and then they overlaid the car.

will report back later with results- ShrimpCrackers, on 04/11/2008, -3/+54... and never reports back.

December 3rd, 2004 - April 11th, 2008- Totalchaos02, on 04/11/2008, -1/+9I don't know how a 3 year old could think he could jump a car... kids these day.
- Tikisam, on 04/12/2008, -0/+2Dugg for your intensive research into the life of Brawr... that was pretty clever actually
- receev, on 04/11/2008, -2/+8Goodbye
- TheAtomicMoose, on 04/11/2008, -2/+99Hey, this is brawr's friend... he is dead.... don't worry, he made the jump... but I shot him afterwards out of jealousy... sry
- TyTerrasso, on 04/11/2008, -6/+1name drop?
- screwfanboys1, on 04/11/2008, -2/+1oh no you wont
- MadEnvoy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4Don't forget your Nike Hyperdunks.
- ShrimpCrackers, on 04/11/2008, -3/+54... and never reports back.
- soccerman90, on 04/11/2008, -3/+50obviously it is fake. Kobe and the car arent lined up, and he jumped at the perfect time so that he never overlaps the car. Kobe just came out with a new shoe by nike and this is viral advertising
- noots, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4indeed. it does appear to be all in one shot and not cut together. He is just closer to the camera than the car.
- weeeezzll, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3I'm not sure how this was accomplished, but he is right in front of the light post shadow and the wheels of the car pass directly over this spot.
- odiego, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2you can see his shadow on the side of the car.
- firebirdx01, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1watch the shadow of the side mirror, it's pretty clear he's a step off the car's trajectory.
- noots, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4indeed. it does appear to be all in one shot and not cut together. He is just closer to the camera than the car.

- realjames, on 04/11/2008, -5/+35Fake. It's an ad, but it's a great one.
- BrendanSheehan, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Real, it's a known fact that b-ball players can't act. It's likely fake, but they can't act.
- Houndstooth, on 04/11/2008, -5/+78It's not fake, the DBR "wanted" him to jump it. It was totally consentual. He explained the whole thing, cried a little, and promised his wife it would never happen again.
- TyTerrasso, on 04/11/2008, -1/+1ha very clever
- m0rtified, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3i see what you did there

- omgosh, on 04/11/2008, -9/+7This God isn't real stuff is getting really old. Saying he isn't real is just an unfounded as saying he is. There is no proof for either. Seriously keep your cheap ass internet philosophies and pop culture ideas to yourself. The way i see it, this hive mentality that God isn't real is exactly the same as that of the religions. Read a book or something.
- skyroket, on 04/11/2008, -4/+2Yay for agnosticism.
- BrendanSheehan, on 04/11/2008, -6/+4I agree with 'omgosh'. Most of the greatest minds that have even being believe an intelligent force is behind it all, yet we have all these guys on digg who haven't even reach the man stage yet who seem to think they "know it all". Study philosophy for a while, then come back to me children.
- Bersy, on 04/11/2008, -6/+0It's gay the way you're gay.
..which is to say, very, and not in the joyous sense. - wordglue, on 04/12/2008, -1/+1I would say my first attempt at trolling: great success.
- necroprancer, on 04/12/2008, -1/+1These fools are gonna set you straight because this is a web forum damnit! haha, quality troll

- Supurcell, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1People keep trying to make that joke, but they always get buried.
- booshack, on 04/11/2008, -3/+5Lately these viral adds seem to assume a rather gullible audience. Come on Nike, I'm sure you could have made this look really real - this just looks like the teens who faked a skateboard jump over a moving car.
- MrVW, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1that wasn't real! :(
- Bersy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0A skateboard jump over a moving car is something I'm quite sure someone, somewhere has captured on tape for real. I skated for several years and trust me, they do some sick *****.
Maybe Nike didn't want the ad to look TOO real, so less people would be encouraged to try to emulate it. who knows *shrug*
- grobinson, on 04/11/2008, -3/+8Hyperdunks? thats some real cheesy viral marketing - so i am sure its composited. Plus they wouldn't risk an Ashton martin driving straight at Kobe Bryant
- booshack, on 04/11/2008, -2/+2Yeah man, blood is so hard to clean off, they sure wouldn't risk tarnishing their car with a hunk of meat like that.
- mecharabbit, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0But you could sell Kobe Bryant's blood on eBay to pay for the repairs.
- DeFex, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1hitting a human can ruin the bodywork.
- ChromaVita, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1You seem to have experience with this...
- Bersy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1An Ashton martin? is that the Ashton Kutcher signature edition?
- booshack, on 04/11/2008, -2/+2Yeah man, blood is so hard to clean off, they sure wouldn't risk tarnishing their car with a hunk of meat like that.
- Teck64, on 04/11/2008, -20/+49FAKE, cause in real life he would of choked on the pressure and become road kill.
- theotheragentm, on 04/11/2008, -0/+25I think you have him confused with Chris Webber, who would've called a timeout he didn't have and then been hit by the car.
- jaalin, on 04/11/2008, -1/+4last time kobe choked was his rookie season... which was like, 10 years ago
- jglaser, on 04/11/2008, -0/+8That doesn't make sense, Kobe is a clutch player.
- ch33sehead, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4Kobe is clutch.
- screwfanboys1, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4would have
- tryferos, on 04/11/2008, -0/+33 Championship Rings....not even close to choking
- PubStomp, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1yeah watch some television for once. NBA ON ABC SUNDAY DOUBLE HEADER
- Tr33fiddy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6Pause it at 0:34; the car's not even driving at him when it enters the frame however the driver is turning hard right. As the car turns (around the aerial Kobe) it passes the shadow in the bottom right making it look a bit like Kobe jumped it.
- lorductape, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2yea the shadow on the car is not as steep as the shadow off of kobe. but its still awesome.
- andrew606, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0dont try this at home...because its a commercial for nike and we dont want to get sued.
- IpwnZnoobs, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1I got this!
- jyrus, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1http://www.nike.com/nikebasketball/usa/v4/features ...
- bicyclethief, on 04/11/2008, -5/+14That's not even Kobe.
- ejrizo, on 04/11/2008, -3/+35so.... Jordan could have jumped over an SUV!... ;-)
- frieddonuts, on 04/12/2008, -0/+4And Shaq can jump over...a skateboard.
- jaalin, on 04/11/2008, -6/+1does nike really need to do this to salvage kobe's image? i can understand turiaf being all goofy (whether he black or white, lakers always need a clown on the bench), but kobe just sounds weird...
- JohnDavis730, on 04/11/2008, -4/+2what's hypah dunks?
- mecharabbit, on 04/11/2008, -1/+0a new donut at Krispy Kreme I think
- mytibt, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2Does that mean that Dwight Howard could clear a HUMMER in these shoes?
- LabiaMajora, on 04/11/2008, -1/+0when the car first goes by there is 1 guy in the car, when it comes back there are 2.
- MrVW, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1i think there are two anyway, there is one nearest to the camera, but his head is only half showing like he is slumped in the chair. but could be wrong.
- Bersy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0He was just ducking cause he was afraid he'd get his head bonked by Kobe.
- MrVW, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1i think there are two anyway, there is one nearest to the camera, but his head is only half showing like he is slumped in the chair. but could be wrong.
- theotheragentm, on 04/11/2008, -1/+2I'm sure he's insured. What insurance company would let him do that?
- DJWingMan, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6Lets face it... if it was real, Phill Jackson would sock him in the head.
No one would risk that. - bladzalot, on 04/11/2008, -9/+104I hate it when highly educated black men have to talk like street thugs in order to keep it real... did you know that Kobe speaks five different languages and comes from a very well respected family? So why ya gotta act like you are gangsta, why can't you actually be yourself?
- spidur1, on 04/11/2008, -0/+10Seriously, it is so sad. "2 Million black folks in the penal, got most white people thinking its style" Chuck D from Public Enemy
- endlessoul, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3Peer pressure.
- superfuxxorr, on 04/11/2008, -2/+11Actualy.. Kobe went straight into the NBA when he was 17 so I fail to see how his high school diploma would denote him as being highly educated.
Your dad playing basketball in Italy does not mean your family is well respected.
English + Italian = 2 languages.- def1234, on 04/11/2008, -2/+5What are you talking about? Just because he's lived in Italy and America doesn't mean he's limited to just knowing Italian and English. Someone can live in any country and learn any language they want.
- superfuxxorr, on 04/11/2008, -0/+3Kobe only speaks two languages, not five.
- def1234, on 04/11/2008, -2/+5What are you talking about? Just because he's lived in Italy and America doesn't mean he's limited to just knowing Italian and English. Someone can live in any country and learn any language they want.
- phyx726, on 04/11/2008, -0/+6because this is a shoe commercial
- k1down, on 04/11/2008, -5/+2You think that is street thug? You are obviously a cracker from the north sir. That is not street thug. Which part of that was street thug?
- lougoose, on 04/13/2008, -0/+2No one on Digg can be gangsta.
- leolll, on 04/11/2008, -2/+1He reminds me of a black version of Jamie Kennedy in "Malibu's Most Wanted"
- p0tent1al, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1Who says he has to? If we are to take your word for it, he comes from a respected family. He makes millions and is one of the best players in the NBA. He speaks many different languages. Can't it be his choice to speak the language of the streets?
Kobe Bryant is a successful, smart, and rich person, and your writing comments on Digg criticizing the way he talks? - rickygw, on 04/12/2008, -0/+0the reason he (and others) has to act that way was explained best by dave chapelle.
"i told the kids at my old highschool 'if you wanna make somethin of your selves....get ta entertainin these white folks. play basketball, learn to rap, do something! get ta dancin! ***** get ta daaancin..." - kjcdude, on 04/12/2008, -1/+1***** plz
- illspaz, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1nikes dont sell as well when he speaks italian
- benonymous, on 04/11/2008, -8/+49At least he didn't rape anybody in this commercial.
- theotheragentm, on 04/11/2008, -0/+5Think it would sell more shoes if he did?
- harrison5394, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2How topical.
- Bersy, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0But if you pause it at just the right spot, his shadow appears to be raping another shadow.
- jakeh111, on 04/11/2008, -9/+2But will it blend?
- holysocks, on 04/11/2008, -0/+2how many did tony ja jump over?
- Akademik25, on 04/11/2008, -9/+4This is real! I was there!
- natesnotjewish, on 04/11/2008, -2/+1Common sense says this is fake. Does anyone legitimately believe considering what he's worth and what he stands to make in the future, he's retarded enough to actually do this?
- johnnyblazepw, on 04/17/2008, -0/+0I agree that its fake, but his worth, present or future, has no bearing on how retarded athletes can be heh. See Jay Williams, Jayson Williams, Pac Man Jones, Ben Rothlesberger(sp?) etc.
- bicyclethief, on 04/11/2008, -2/+5I would've loved to see Kobe get taken out Final Destination style.
- weeeezzll, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Show laces somehow get hooked on something on the ground?
Or maybe:
Successfully jumps Aston Martin, and gets run over by a 90 year old lady backing out of parking spot next to him.- bicyclethief, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1lol. Someone has answered my prayers: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1811089
- weeeezzll, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Show laces somehow get hooked on something on the ground?
- sdigroup, on 04/11/2008, -5/+1fake, its already in process of being pulled because of copy cats attempts by kids. bad idea Nike, massive lawsuits if someone gets hurt or killed
- Supurcell, on 04/11/2008, -0/+7Yeah! Nike could make millions suing people that try to copy this video!
- Niteowl, on 04/11/2008, -0/+8Post when Kobe jumps over a Hummer.
- tbechtx, on 04/11/2008, -5/+1good job but FAKE! The shadows give it away. The car is just on the other side of Kobe.
- tbville, on 04/11/2008, -4/+1fake, burry this like nikes needs more money, get rid of this off the front page
- screwfanboys1, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1if i buried this as much as nike needs more money i'd be digging it...
- zlopez, on 04/11/2008, -2/+3Kobe's no Joey Gathright.
- gannondork, on 04/11/2008, -5/+4If it was real he would have raped the car first.
- tabion, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1If it was real, the car would have raped him first.
- gannondork, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1If it was real he would have raped his friend then the car would have gang raped both of them.
- tabion, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1If it was real, the car would have raped him first.
- DeFex, on 04/11/2008, -0/+4You got advertised at and now you are talking about it. baaaaa. oh wait, so am i
- Hamsterpotpies, on 04/11/2008, -0/+33its fake.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FHx_UWe7gc
- mattfsu, on 04/11/2008, -0/+0Sucks... I kind of wanted to believe it.
