You’ve probably seen this video. Is it real or fake?

It’s real. He could easily do that. Have you seen that show on FX, the one about sports science, with all the computers and tech? They showed a guy dunking over a car parked sideways. Clearly a guy with Kobe’s vert could jump over the length of a car moving towards him. Having said that, I’m guessing his owner wouldn’t be happy to see this video!

Real!

I watched a TV show talking about the recent video and confirmed it was real…there is another one out there he did where he dunks over a pool filled with snakes…they showed it on the TV show I was watching…they said that one , Kobe admitted to using a trampoline…but the car…completely real.

Kenny Smith’s attempt to do the same is even funnier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOh3NRBC_yI&feature=related

Fast forward to 2:02 if you want to save time and just see Kenny Smith’s attempt.

I dunno. There’s another video on YouTube that freezes it, and it looks like Kobe is using the camera to his advantage — meaning that the car is to his right the whole time. From our perspective, it LOOKS like he’s jumping over the car. And he more or less is (as far as hangtime goes). But he wasn’t in any real danger.

I am waiting to see the video of Stephen jumping over his parked moped. He might be able to do it…stayed tuned.
