Warning: The "stunt" you are about to see was "performed" by a "trained" professional while wearing a pair of 13 oz. shoes. Ball Don't Lie will take no responsibility for any injury caused by trying to impress Ronny Turiaf. Enjoy!
Once again, please do NOT attempt to recreate this "stunt" at home — unless, of course, you eat concrete while failing to jump over your lil' sister coming at you on a tricycle. If that happens, by all means, send it in.
(Thanks to BDL reader "Bobby" for the tip.)

it's pretty clear that the car wasn't passing in the background. before the jump, kobe is standing almost on top of the shadow of a lamp, and the car passes over the same shadow.
(that's not to say that it's real, it's just more likely a composite of two shots -- kobe jumping and a car driving past -- than one shot with the car in the background.)

But how does the car gets up to 50 mph in the first place with so little space to the left of the shot, and then turn around and comes back in six seconds (time it). We dont hear a thing, but are supposed to believe that a car going 50 mph can stop without making a noise and turn around and come back in six seconds. To do it this fast wouldnt it screech? And is there enough space to do it in one circle, or would it have to make several maneuvers?
Pretty good fake though!
