Seen below is Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant doing his best to promote his new shoeâ€¦and ensure the Lakers have zero chance in the NBA Playoffs. We're not experts on shadows and perspective, but this looks pretty damn real. I wonder what Phil Jackson has to say about this.

	No way this is real haha. Can you imagine the clauses in his contract he would violate with this if it were real?

	Section "S" Article 3 pg. 121 on Kobe's contract: "If your dumb-ass gets injured when not on the court, this contract is null and void."

	Classic perspective trick. Real in the sense that no CGI-type effects used but fake in that he is standing several feet to the side of the car (deeper in the scene). He is jumping high enough to clear car but even if he failed, he wasn't getting hit.

	There are effects, he even confirmed it.

	I paused the video while kobe was in the air, and I believe the shadows on the car are photoshoped. but, the car is the right proportions so kobe would be able to jump over a moving car. he cleared it by about two feet, he could probably jump a Buick

	If he was really ballsy....he would have shaq drive the car

	And to think, the Celtics were worried about Rondo roller skating........ No way that is real, though. But good job on the editing to make it look real.

	hah its not real, he prolly jumped like out of its path and it just looks like its goin under him...pretty good jump tho ha

	Why would any sane person think this was real?

	15.1. sportnut , April 12, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	What does George Bush think about this? He is obviously sane, right?

	16. theoneandonly , April 11, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	Exactly Jscore, so there is no real reason to post anything about this not being real.. We know it isnt. 25 people saying not real doesnt do anybody good... Even though there is no doubt that he could do this! haha...

	umm imppresive

	no kidding of course its fake the proof is right in the bottom corner note the shadow of the lamp post on the ground. if the car goes over the shadow it should appear on the car but it doesnt oh well. Nice try, im buying the shoes cause of creativity

	Not real at ALL. But Maybe?? No, KOBE has to much on the line to risk injury on a stupid stunt. Kobe Bryant's response to the Aston Martin jump. http://digibubble.wordpress.com/

	Please..i don't care how high he can jump..apparently he's a real sell out if he resorts to junping over cars to premote a show..well..i guess in a few years when his skillz go,,he'll always have commercials to make him money
