Kobe Bryant dunks over pool of snakes

Philip — Tue, 27 May 2008 03:12:39 +0000

Ok..Ok.. I’m a HUGE San Antonio Spurs fan… I’m hoping to see my Spurs STOMP Bryant and his Lakers in the Western Conference Championships….

No matter where you loyalties lie, you gotta respect the insane skills of Kobe.. I ran across this video tonight of Kobe Bryant dunking the ball over a pool of snakes. It’s worth a watch and it’s almost surreal to see how much air Kobe gets during the dunk… I’ve heard that this viral video is part of a Nike shoe promotion and I’m SURE there is a bit of “manipulation” to the video.

Enjoy
