  • theoristbj, on 05/25/2008, -4/+214Snakes..why'd it have to be snakes?
  • mark076h, on 05/25/2008, -8/+148Sweet are they making a new jackass movie?
  • TheAstronomer, on 05/25/2008, -8/+146How could anyone think that it is real?? Do you really think that Kobe would risk getting hurt ever let alone during the playoffs?
  • Surferess, on 05/25/2008, -15/+139Do you think that is real?
  • hdeck, on 05/25/2008, -12/+109great another fake kobe video.
  • Waynerz99, on 05/25/2008, -9/+101SNAKES IN A MOTHER ******* POOL.
  • inactive, on 05/25/2008, -20/+101Hard to tell.

    On the one hand, it doesn't have an imperfection that allows you to believe it's faked. Even if you freeze frame the whole thing.

    On the other hand, he jumped about 10 feet in the air and flew 15-20 feet forward and was really high up there in the middle of the pool. His feet are about 6 feet in the air when he's at the middle of the pool

    If it didn't cut to a different camera right when he jumps, I wouldn't doubt it's real. But it does... Maybe there's something to help him jump, like those little kickers they use in gymnastics.

    Then again, he jumps for a living... I can't tell.
  • zephyr42, on 05/25/2008, -1/+70the 2 morons with the snakes on a plane reference are dumb and completely wrong, he's quoting Indiana Jones...
  • THWilson, on 05/25/2008, -1/+65Will Ferrell, Trent Reznor, Ron Paul...Kobe Bryant? Kobe being a internet marketing guru is a very unexpected development.
  • gannondork, on 05/25/2008, -3/+58No the movie is called "Snakes in a Pool"


    "I'm sick of these ***** snakes in this ***** pool"
  • neocr0n, on 05/25/2008, -0/+49One thing is for certain those snakes are not black mambas.
  • MattBot5000, on 05/25/2008, -1/+47The replay shows that he barely bent his knees. Absolutely nobody can jump that well pushing off with only their feet.
  • fanboydcs, on 05/25/2008, -5/+50sad poor snakes
  • kevinwiz, on 05/25/2008, -2/+45Is this a serious question? Of course it's not real!
  • CactusChef, on 05/25/2008, -0/+35I can't wait for Inside the NBA and Kenny Smith to do this.
  • gnimsh, on 05/25/2008, -2/+35And for his next trick: http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/dvd/ep6/sarlacc2. ...
  • wjackson, on 05/25/2008, -0/+29Did you not see how his trajectory was altered at the height of his arc? When he extends his back, it's almost like the contortion weakened the effect of gravity. Furthermore, his serene landing didn't fit the jump; it was almost dainty in comparison.
  • arunforce, on 05/25/2008, -2/+281. Kobe
    2. Do insane stunt
    3. Advertise product
    4. ????????
    5. Profit!
  • TheWorm, on 05/25/2008, -5/+31You don't know when it was filmed. Could have been the off-season.
  • haidalangara, on 05/25/2008, -4/+29does not look real
  • tmacfan123, on 05/25/2008, -9/+32that is like jumping from behind the free throw line. Kobe can't even dunk from the free throw line. Obviously *****.
  • dleesgeetar, on 05/25/2008, -1/+23someone's been using too much twitter!
  • inactive, on 05/25/2008, -7/+29WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH?

    That was sweet
  • Intrexed, on 05/25/2008, -2/+23a friend of mine has grandparents in guthrie oklahoma. apparently they were filming part of their movie there, and they went into his grandfather's convenience store, and bought out his entire supply of beer, taking it all out with dollies
  • sovereign3, on 05/25/2008, -0/+20No. Kobe can jump, but unless there was a spring-loaded board at the base of that pool,it's just not possible to do what he did.
  • TheAstronomer, on 05/25/2008, -1/+20@Noxcel: see how I replied to your comment directly.

    God didn't give us this new great commenting system for us to not use it.
  • kelowna4life, on 05/25/2008, -3/+20This is a brilliant marketing campaign done by nike, trying to capitalize on the internet video....i guess era that has currently come.

    Nice job
  • Lagger, on 05/25/2008, -9/+25No snakes were harmed in the filming of this video.
  • sc0tty0, on 05/25/2008, -1/+17don't forget WEEZER....
  • danj321, on 05/25/2008, -0/+15There's something Indiana Jones can't do.
  • inactive, on 05/25/2008, -1/+16I saw your comment and then looked at your name...i get it now
  • RickyHo, on 05/26/2008, -1/+15his name is Wee-man.... fool
  • batista86, on 05/25/2008, -0/+13Samuel Jackson would not approve of snakes in a pool
  • hotpuck6, on 05/25/2008, -5/+17Good thing black mambas aren't deadly poisonous or anything.... oh wait, they are.
    Wikipedia: "Black mambas are among the ten most venomous snakes in the world. Black mamba venom can kill a human in 20 minutes"
    so either they had a boat load of anti-venom on hand and they truly are all "jackasses" or they weren't black mambas at all.
  • Elliuotatar, on 05/26/2008, -1/+13SAY IT'S A ROPE!
  • shadeOfGrey, on 05/25/2008, -1/+13another thing that is for certain, he didn't jump over that pool unassisted. So it's pretty much fake on all accounts.
  • mediaphile, on 05/25/2008, -0/+11King Kong was shot with chroma-key.
  • ligyron, on 05/25/2008, -7/+18Go back to YouTube and stay there
  • loveforkarma, on 05/25/2008, -1/+11If you have ever seen the skate video Yeah Right! they do the exact same thing. They painted a ramp green and than green screened it in. You can still see kobe running up it before the pool.

  • DarkDx, on 05/25/2008, -1/+10Kevin Rose = God?
  • stopbrorape, on 05/25/2008, -0/+9He was talking about the jump not the snakes.
  • Flashtone, on 05/25/2008, -2/+11I believe i can fly! I can fly...! HUmMMmmmmmmm
  • maldovix, on 05/25/2008, -1/+10It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, it's the big names recognizing the effectiveness of viral marketing
  • RickyHo, on 05/26/2008, -1/+10Oh please, that was Micheal Jordan, the man could walk on air
  • DemDude, on 05/25/2008, -0/+8Oh come on...
