OT: Kobe jumps over a moving Aston Martin?!?

[cobbler]

I just posted about this in the Smack Shack..

As a Laker fan and a Kobe fan.. I'm not impressed at all.

Two weeks before the playoffs start and he's jumping speeding cars? Foolish and unnecessary risk that could have ended his career or even his life. My approach to the Lakers is the same as my approach to the Cardinals. My loyalty is to the organization over the players. Sure, I like Kobe, but the stunt jeopardized the Lakers chances at a title run, and I think it was a stupid and irresponsible thing to do. Kobe should know better.

Oh, and Adrian Wilson can jump higher.




To be honest, I really hope you're right.

Kobe was asked after the game last night if it was real... he simply replied...its hollywood baby. No way Kobe would take that risk.

As for those bagging on Turiaf. He was not showing up the clippers as reggie miller suggested. Walton who has been struggling a lot lately had just hit his 3rd 3 pointer in a row and he was showing his happiness for his teamate....which he has always done... either on the floor or bench. Ronnie is a breath of fresh air in the "its all about me" NBA.

Then Nike would have to compensate the Lakers exponentially for lost attendance, advertising, apparel sales etc. Kobe's value to the Lakers goes WAY beyond his salary.

And it wouldnt be compensations for length of his contract either. It would be for potential LIFE earnings.

The car and Kobe were never in the same shot together.

It's amazing what you can do with a computer, a multimillion dollar shoe company's budget, and a video camera.

Remember this?


Be impressed it looks real, but please dont be convinced...

The car and Kobe were never in the same shot together.

Yes they were:

Notice how the car's wheel is turned, as if to go around him?

I meant literally, not visually

 

[carrrnuttt]

I meant literally, not visually

Me too.

The car's going around him, because him and the car were both there at the same time, except that Kobe jumped straight up in the air next to the car, not above the car. The fact that his shadow never goes over the car proves that.

If they were going to superimpose two shots, why not just make it where his shadow is on the car? Why not go with a different angle that's more clear?

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

No! The car was never around Kobe!

Kobe can jump ON me

 

[D-Dogg]

I already did.

 

[Arizona's Finest]

Well played sir.

 

[arwillan]

the car is driving to the side of him and he just simply jumps. the car passes to the side of him, but from the viewpoint we have it looks like he jumps over the care. oldest trick in the book

Ronny is fantastic--a great teammate and person. Don't bust on the dude...you would love the hell out of him if he were on your team.

Did I say I would never want him on the Suns?

All I said was he way exaggerated the contact on that play, which he did.

 

[D-Dogg]

fair enough, gm.

 

[Beaver]

Can someone make a fake version where the care hits him?

First attempt.
