Kobe Bryant saves the day in Smart Fortwo Brabus - Click above to watch the video <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/31/video-kobe-bryant-uses-smart-fortwo-brabus-to-catch-art-thief/#continued">after the jump</a></div>

The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/smart/">Smart</a> brand, looking for a sales lift in China, has enlisted the lanky likes of Kobe Bryant for its "<a href="http://www.the-smart-class.cn/smartbigmovie/" onclick="window.open(this .href, '', 'resizable=yes,status=yes ,location=yes,toolbar=yes ,menubar=yes,fullscreen=n o,scrollbars=yes,dependen t=no'); return false;">Big, In The City</a>" ad campaign. A newly released video has the internationally known NBA star assuming the role of a quick thinking/driving man of both style and action with a keen sense of aim.<br />
<br />
With the aid of a shiny black <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fortwo">Smart Fortwo</a> Brabus that he - or perhaps a stunt double - throws around corners and through traffic, Kobe comes to the aid of a damsel in distress with flair as he chases down an art thief and utilizes his on-court abilities to administer a chase-ending coup de gr&acirc;ce.<br />
<br />
The campaign will reportedly undertake a 25-city Chinese road trip, the highlight of which is an appearance by the Los Angeles Lakers star at a Smart customer party in July. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/31/video-kobe-bryant-uses-smart-fortwo-brabus-to-catch-art-thief/#continued">Hit the jump</a> for some Smart Brabus and Bryant action.<br />
