Kobe on the “Aston Martin” Video
By now you’ve probably seen this:
Today, Hoopshype.com has a video of Elie Seckbach asking Kobe about whether or not the video is fake. Kobe basically admits as much (as if the 500 provisions in his contract would let him come anywhere remotely close to trying to hurlde a moving car) and also compares himself to a “Rambo One-Man Militia.”

Kobe on PTI yesterday about the video, “If Rocky can keep fighting at 60, I can jump a car.” I think that says it all…

Nick Barnes says:
Someone should ask Kobe, “So after watching the tape I can see that no one’s actually in the car. How do you explain that?”

hhaha….this is obviously fake, whether he “admits it” or not…mostly for the reason the article says. There’s NO WAY Kobe would try this EVER, let alone during the NBA season. First of all. Secondly, the acting isn’t great and Turiaf’s pleading with him to not do it is a clear giveaway. Why would he be there on camera if he wasn’t with the idea?
That being said, that’s a SICK ad, and a dope marketing strategy. Get people (like us) talking about it and linking the video! HyperDunks, boy!!

GEE...Sit yo 5 Dolla #$% down before I make change says:
Real good Ad. Kobe probably could actually do it to, more so than the Mike Vick, LeBron James ads Powerade I think use to do. I loved those.
Anyway I wonder what he is going to jump next?

he didn’t compare himself to a ‘rambo militia’
the words here are “IF RAMBO CAN” that’s not comparing himself. jeez do you guys know how to read or listen?
you guys are funny, obviously the video is fake, but you guys didn’t post the original video until you had ‘proof’ it was fake, weird. is not about if it’s real or not, the commercial is cool, plain and simple.
