Sports: Is This Real KOBE?

If you were watching the NBA telecast of the Lakers & Clippers on TNT last night, you probably something pretty doggone amazing from Kobe Bryant.
Dude jumped an Aston Martin coming directly at him! Or did he? Scroll down to see and decide for yourself.
In any case, we'll recap. As the video begins, the Lakers' star point guard holds up his newest signature shoe, the Nike Hyperdunks. He then laces up his sneakers while teammate Ronny Turiaf tells him that what he's about to do isn't a good idea. "Don't worry, I got this. Come on, bring it down!" shouts a confident Kobe.
Then he goes for it.
A silver Aston Martin then comes flying onto the screen at fifty miles per hour and Bryant jumps. He lets out a roar and completely clears the car.
"I told you!" he yells to Turiaf, "March 31, 2008, baby! That is how you jump over an Aston Martin boy, that's how you do it. Hyperdunks!"
Hmm, as you can imagine, the video has been slowed down, freeze framed, and analyzed to the max, but nobody seems to have any evidence that the stunt is fake.
What do you think? Is it real or is it Hollywood magic? DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
