A new Nike commercial in which Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers leaps over a moving car is getting a lot of attention on the Internet.
It sure looks real, but it's not.
Bryant described the sequence to the Los Angeles Times as "Hollywood" on Thursday.
"If 'Rambo Part XX' can be a one-man militia, I can jump over an Aston Martin," he told the Times.
In the ad, released on Bryant's website, KB24.com, Bryant tells viewers to not "try this at home," and afterward says to teammate Ronny Turiaf, "That is how you jump over an Aston Martin, boy, that's how you do it."
