All I know is that there is no possible way the LAkers would let him do this "stunt", remember the dude last year who got hurt snowboarding and they fined him. This would have been much worse if it were real. You can also tell by the bad acting via Turiaf he wasn't really too excited to see Kobe jump really high for no reason. Either way LAkers winning the west. Its F-ing sweet is what it is, and I think we are past the “dont try this at home kids” phase.

I agree that Kobe was not in front of the car. Pause at 54. In addition, watch the front wheel of the car. After Kobe is airborne it turns slightly into the spot where Kobe jumped from and then straightens up. Also Kobe lands slightly ahead and above where he jumped from thereby clearing the driver side rear fender instead of directly over the back trunk of the car.

If you pause, like was suggested above and pay attention to the shadows. They are at the same spot on the pavement and at the same depth. My theory is that they were filmed at different times. Maybe even the same time of day on different days. This would be easy enough to do with layered editing. It’s a pretty good fake.

Kobe is more pumped and excited than ronnie t after he does it. Ronnie is a very bad actor.
