Kobe Bryant Jumps Aston Martin!

By John Coyle

Editor

So we’re not sure if this is real or not. You’d expect a superstar basketball player to have a pretty burly vertical leap, but even still, this clip looks a little sketch. What do you think? Does Kobe really jump the car?

OMG. it’s proven fake, you can see his shadow on the side of the car, u don’t even have to pause it to see it.

Yall are idiots who keep saying the car is a Viper, it’s an Aston Martin! Kobe could have jumped that car for real and not to the side, looks real as shit and all of you trying to waste your time pausing and finding out if it’s fake are retarded with nothing better to do. Haters

If you pause the video right where he is under the hood of the vehicle you can see the front wheel veering to the right, which tells me the vehicle was not going directly at him and once Kobe jumped then the driver started to veer to the right to make it seem that Kobe jumped right above him.

I agree with some comments, if it went wrong he would have ruined his career. And he was on the side of the car.

if you watch the video he stand right on the shadow of the lamp post or what ever it is and the car drives directly over it

all of you are wrong. i examined it as well too. i hit the pause button just about every second. he was able to vertically leap over the car but he was not standing directly in front of the car either, which was smart seeing as he could’ve ruined his whole career had something gone wrong. had he been directly in front of the car THAT TIME he would’ve made it though. can’t say the same about the rest.

Jackie Chan did that years ago, and it was for real, not this fakeness. The crazy dude jumped over a car going an insane speed. If u search youtube or something its probly still on there.

He was on film jumping that high, then they recorded the car driving by at speed and edited the film to appear as tho he jumped over the car. they do that all the time in movies, just look at southland tales on the bonus features.

He did Jump that high, which is cool! But he didn’t jump over the car, he jumped either on the side of the car or at another time entirely. Cool as video though! Makes you watch it at least three or four times!

the jump is done to the side of the car and then the video is edited to make him look like he did,,,, i saw the interview on tv

Kobe kinda said today on pti that he didn’t do the jump. it was ” Hollywood magic”.

I would think they’ll add something about jumping over cars in his next contract…

Well seeing as hes a multi-million dollar contract player, NO. if he would have gotten hurt that would have been the end of him, especially since the playoffs are just around the corner and his team is actually doing good this season, but hopefully the loose!(im a Spurs fan)

he didn’t, if you pause the video at about :35 seconds you can see that he is closer to the camera than the car is. you can also see that the wheels are turned, like the car is trying to get closer to the camera. its a fake.
