Break The Fake Part II – Kobe jumping over speeding car

  1.  I was thinking about videos that I’ve seen before and I remember a infamous video of Kobe Bryant jumping over a speeding car for a commercial shoot. There was lot’s of speculation of whether or not this was real so I decided that I would fact check it.

2. First thing I did was check snopes.com, I couldn’t really find anything.

3. So next I searched the topic with fake/hoax on google, multiple different sources said it wasn’t real so next I’m going to verify the sources.

4. Just in case I wanted to use the custom link that was made just for fact checking. Even on there I couldn’t find any information so those sources are our only leadway.

5. So right away I went to verify the source using Wikepedia, I have heard of Bleacher Report before but just to make sure I went to check. Firstly, it was launched in 2005 which is a little suspicious but it’s linked with lot’s of money and I checked their social medias where they had a blue check mark. They are  linked with two other companies named House Of Highlights and TBS which also both had wikepedias and a blue check mark. This means they are who they say they are.

 

6. Early when the company was made they had made a fatal mistake of letting anyone upload on their website which now they say was a horrible mistake. This shows that they have a good history of realising their mistakes and coming out and accepting them.

7. In conclusion I can confidently say that the video of Kobe Bryant jumping over a speeding car is FAKE.
