No, Kobe Bryant did not throw caution (and the Los Angeles Lakers’ playoff hopes) to the wind by leaping over a moving Aston Martin.

Nike has unveiled its new Hyperdunk basketball shoe, which is endorsed by Kobe and will go on sale this July. To help ramp up awareness, the company filmed a new viral video in which Kobe shows off the new kicks and, in a demonstration of their lightness, wows teammate and observer Ronny Turiaf by jumping over an Aston Martin convertible that’s driven directly at him.

Kudos to Nike: if our email inbox is any indication, you’ve created the buzz you’re looking for. 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 (See video below). We tend to agree with the speculation offered up by the Bleacher Report: Kobe really jumped (his leaping ability is not in question) as the car simply drove by beside him. Watch it for yourselves below the fold and tell us what you think.

Has this ever happened to you? You see the picture of a fast food item that looked, oh so yummy, but when the order arrived it looked completely different from the picture. Here we have a real good collection of fast food images comparisons.
And one other thing, each item was purchased, taken home, and photographed immediately. Nothing was tampered with, run over by a car, or anything of the sort. It is an accurate representation in every case. Shiny, neon-orange, liquefied pump-cheese, and all.

Check out more pics here.
