Kobe Jumps Over a Car...Really

If you have not seen this yet then sit down and block out about 20 minutes from you day because you will try to figure out if this is real or fake.



Is this real or fake? Let's break it down...

Fake

• Nike is known for campaigns that really get people talking and see their product in action. Do you remember from a few years back where Vince Carter dunked over Gary Payton sitting down with a big afro on...
• Kobe has done a shock campaign before when he was with Adidas. He did some dunks that were pretty much unseen back when he was with Adidas. This was one of my favorite commercials when it came out..so much so that I recorded it and would watch it over and over just to see if he is on some strings or just jumping.
  
• After Jay Williams took a big spill on his motorcycle and ended his career, a lot of NBA teams started putting a clause in players' contracts about staying out of dangerous situations. Now, if Kobe feels like he can jump a car then is that really a dangerous situation? Maybe Kobe has practiced this a lot in the off-seaon and wanted to show it off.
  
• Kobe is such a fierce competitor that if he did get hurt in this stunt then his hard work this season would have gone to waste...Kobe getting hit by a car might, just might, put him out for the playoffs...not even Kobe would risk that, right?

Real

• If there is one guy that will show everybody that he CAN jump over a speeding Aston Martin, it's Koeb Bryant. Kobe is known for showing up people and is very proud of his athletic abilities. Kobe Bryant KNOWS he can jump over a car so HE DID jump over a car.
• It's been a while since Kobe has done a fun campaign that focuses on his fun side and not his hard work ethic like his commercial from last year...
• Kobe and Nike are also doing this new campaign for his shoes that run along the lines of a genius needs the perfect tools to be a genius...This is another fun commercial showing Kobe's personality and how he feels about himself. How does this tie into Kobe jumping over a car? Kobe with his new HyperDunks is showing his abilities with the perfect tool...in real life.
  

I still can't decide if this commercial is real or fake. What I do know is that I am going to watch it again just to see if I can spot any fakies.
