Kobe Bryant Dunk

Jamario did it. So did Bosh (this was lame by the way). The difference is – those two only used the wonders of viral marketing to promote themselves. Kobe Bryant is using it to promote his newest kicks in this video.

The question is – is the video fake or not?

There is no doubt in my mind that the guy can do it. I just don’t think he would risk being labeled as the baller who won the MVP award, just to have a stupid career ending publicity stunt in the same year. Anyways, aside from Ronnie Turiaf’s bad acting, you can spot the giveaway at 00:34. The shadows are clearly not aligned.

Nevertheless, look at how sweet looking the new Kobe Hyperdunks are. My fondness for these shoes however doesn’t come from my being a Kobe Bryant fanboy. Of all the Michael Jordan’s that ever came out, I just like his Jordan 6’s the most. Check this out for some glaring similarities between the two.

And this…

My only worry is Kobe’s shoe line is slowly approaching Michael Jordan’s in terms of price range. If When he wins the Most Valuable Player Award, you can bet prices are going up again. Hence, my chances of ever purchasing a pair of these babies can be likened to finding a cheap sack of rice during these hard, hard times. :(
