LeBron James and Dwight Howard filmed a new McDonald’s ad playing off the classic 1993 shooting showdown between Larry Bird and Michael Jordan. McDonald’s released a preview of the commercial last week, and the entire ad aired just before the Super Bowl kicked off tonight. Interestingly, the new version is a dunk contest instead of a shooting match. As a fun surprise, one of the original participants makes an appearance at the end. I gotta say the new version is hot. The chemistry between LeBron and Dwight is definitely there.

It was pretty campy for sure and it would've been nice to see them attempt some real dunks before all the CGI kicked in. :roll: The highlight was certainly Larry Legends appearance and the response from Bron & Dwight! :razz:
Best ever!!!
For those who are too young to have seen the MJ/Bird commercial

I like the older commmercial more they tried a similar approach dunking wise but wasn't as appealing as the impossible shots. I think this would have been way better if the dunks were real
