A new video has hit the web featuring Los Angeles Lakers superstar and NBA MVP Kobe Bryant dunking a basketball into a hoop over a pool full of water snakes.
The spot, featuring the modern-day philosophers otherwise known as the cast of Jackass, are intended to hype up a new Nike shoe, dubbed the Hyperdunk (they only cost $1,500!). Pretty cool, even if I have my doubts about its authenticity. Seriously, no NBA player, let alone one of the top three players in the league, is going to get permission from his team to pull off a nutty stunt like that. Same goes for the original ad in this series, featuring Kobe jumping over a car.
Again, cool but most likely fake. Neat idea though. Hope Kobe can jump out of this potential disaster. Bonus video of an Inside the NBA spoof of the car-jumping ad.
