Kobe Bryant Jumps Over Running Car
April 17th, 2008All right, this is NBA player Kobe Bryant pulling off an insane stunt by jumping over a running car. He clears is smooth and it looks awesome, but I have some serious doubt about the authenticity of this video.
When you pause it and play frame by frame, it appears as though Kobe Bryant is closer to the camera than the car, but the way camera is positioned makes it look in line. This same effect was used throughout the Lord of the Rings to make hobbits looks smaller. I think the car was passing safely by the side of Kobe and he only made half the jump he needed in order to make it look like he cleared the car.
I also don’t think the Lakers would allow him to attempt crazy stunts where he could endanger his health and possibly performance during the rest of the NBA season. I’m not an expert, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a clause in his multi million dollar contract that prohibits him from performing reckless acts during his spare time which could cause harm to his body and paralyze him from playing for the team. Plus if something happened to him, he would danger his million dollar salary and who would do that?
One thing is for sure – first fan of Lakers sees it and is gonna try that shit at home. Dumbasses.
