|_0NN!3 WOW!
I find it amusing that Kobe( & His "homie" in this video ) acted so proud of His jump over the car, as if Kobe had accomplished that jump with that car ACTUALLY driving under Him!
Kobe has the $$$ to pay Hollywood to make Him "Superman", ...His fans must be so proud of Him being so ..."REAL"! -
Sporty Thug If you click the play/pause button simutaneously you'll notice the car looks like it would go off to the side of him if he were to not jump at all. So as you are play/pausing it when the car enters the scene you notice that the cars wheels are turning to the right, as you continue you to play/pause you also notice he takes off at the left side (left as is facing the cars front end) of the car. Then as he lands and you pause it he is what looks like in the center of the car... mind you this is what looks to be an 08' Martin with a total exterior length of 14.375 feet and the height is only a mear 4 foot with the top up. Though it is possible to do this with practice here is a quote from Kobe off the AutoBlog: And if any of you were still wondering if the video were real, Kobe told a local news reporter, "Hollywood, baby!" when asked how he did it. Take it how you wanna, but the commersh was still ill. P.E.A.C.E.-
Sporty Thug Check out the: "Hollywood, baby!" link, by the way.

Kobe Bryant 'jumps over' a moving Aston Martin
Ball Don't Lie —
Warning: The "stunt" you are about to see was "performed" by a "trained" professional while wearing a pair of 13 oz. shoes. Ball Don't Lie will take no responsibility for any injury caused by trying to impress Ronny Turiaf. Enjoy! Once again, please do NOT attempt to recreate this "stunt" at home — unless, of course, you eat concrete while failing to jump over your lil' sister coming at you on a tricycle. If that happens, by all means, send it in. (Thanks to BDL reader "Bobby" for the tip.)
Kobe's New Shoe
Hoffman's blog listings. —
"Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap Aston Martin's at a single bound!"
Kobe Bryant will unveil his new basketball shoe tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers. "Nike’s lightest and strongest basketball shoe owes its existence to Nike’s revolutionary Flywire technology as it made its transition from track spikes to basketball. Flywire is the innovation driving Nike’s strongest and lightest footwear. Super-strong nylon filaments provide precise support akin to the suspension cables in a bridge, and allow a radical reduction in ...

Kobe Bryant’s crazy stunt: He clears a Aston Martin
Hail Mary Jane —
Ok so I don’t know if this stunt is real but if it is then it’s completely sick. Kobe Bryant and Ronny Turiaf are chillin on a roof and a chick in an Aston Martin rolls up and… well you watch the rest and let me know if you think it’s real.

Either Kobe’s willing to risk his life to impress Ronny Turiaf or they’re both pretty convincing actors. And yeah, don’t try this at home, besides, most Aston Martins can’t get up to 50kph in most houses.

Kobe Bryant Explains Jumping Over A Car Stunt, Sort Of
FanIQ Blog —
Despite TNT's resident idiots (lovable idiots, that is), Charles and Kenny, believing Kobe Bryant really leaped an Aston Martin ... he definitely did not.
John Ireland of KCAL-TV Los Angeles asked Kobe about the stunt last night. Kobe's response:
"Hollywood, baby."
"Hollywood. What do expect our here? If Rambo can take on a whole army, I can jump over an Aston Martin."
If you really believe Kobe jumped a car, I've got this business pyramid concept the run by you real quick.
By the way, while you're watching Kobe's explanation ...

Kobe was just trying to one-up Royals outfielder Joey Gathright, who famously jumped over a parked car.
He also jumped over a pitcher in a spring training game this year, and MLB took down the video on YouTube. Here’s a link to the page where they have it (click on “Gathright goes airborne”)
UPDATE: I’m obviously not the first blogger to find the Kobe video. Ballhype has the full list.

Never Knew Kobe Could Jump Like This
Larry Brown Sports —
OK, by popular demand, I have no choice but to post this video. It’s made its way around, but I believe the venerable J.E. Skeets was on it first at Yahoo! Sports, where it even got some play featured on Yahoo’s homepage yesterday (dizzam, over 770 thousand views came straight from Yahoo!). Watch as Kobe Bryant jumps over a moving Aston Martin in his brand new shoes!
Now Kobe’s leap was impressive, but the question persists: quien es el mas chingon, Kobe, or Joey Gathright?

Kobe, LeBron, And Shoe Commercials
MVN Outsider —
The video of Kobe Bryant jumping over a speeding Aston Martin turned out to be laden with special effects (no, not even Kobe can jump over a convertible that’s being driven straight at him), but the clip still proved to be a brilliant marketing tool for his new line of sneakers. The internet was buzzing with debate over whether or not the clip was ‘real’ or ‘fake,’ and in the end, the Nike-produced video provided tons of publicity for Kobe’s so-called ‘magic shoes.’
But that brings up this question: Was that the best shoe commercial you’ve seen? (even though it wasn’t a traditional ...

As usual, I have overlooked other Cal sports over the past…seven months, and during this long, interminable offseason I hope to reward our good teams with feature posts.
So let’s start with the Cal Volleyball All-Stars. By all-stars, I mean girls with sparkling all-around bodies of work. This team got all the way to the Final Four in Sacramento, finishing with their highest NCAA ranking ever. These girls know how to spike those balls, right over the net and pushing themselves to their very limit. Golden Bears through and through.

Well, last night, the TNT "Inside the NBA" crew decided to have a little fun with it and showed Kobe their rendition live on the air. I hate to be that guy, but I'm giving this just one mediocre thumb-up. As Matt at The FanHouse said: "Kenny signs off heading into commercial by remarking, "YouTube is going to be going crazy now," but if they actually spent a little time on YouTube, they'd know this ...
Those other Molina brothers, my favorite bowler, vehicular hijinx, and other stuff
The Serious Tip —
During the last five years or so, Major League Baseball has been invaded by a plethora of Molinas. Between Benji, Jose, and Yadier "F'in" Molina, hardly a game goes by without a Molina in a box score. They are like the old Alous. Now Molinas are invading Olympic boxing. Via Intersections (via Global Voices Online) comes the story of twin brothers Javier and Oscar Molina, both of whom will be competing in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Here is the twist: Javier will be boxing for the U.S and Oscar will be representing Mexico. Because they aren't in the same weight class, however, there will not be the possibility of an ...

One of them was about my fondness for Mickael Pietrus, a player whose appeal has always been twofold: First, he's usually appeared like a man out of place, without a defined role, and even a true cultural niche. Second, and because of the first, he's seemed like a sad ...

By the way, Gilbert weighs about 100 pounds more than Eloi. Just saying. Now if only ...
