LeBron James remakes 1993 Super Bowl Commercial *Classic*
Lebron James filmed his first commercial with McDonald’s, a take-off on the infamous 1993 ad that featured hoops legends Michael Jordan and Larry Bird engaging in a trick-shot competition for a Big Mac. The REMAKE of the commercial airs during the Super Bowl on Feb. 7.

James filmed his commercial for McDonald’s earlier this month in Indianapolis. The spot also features OrlandoAll-Star center Dwight Howard and Bird, the Boston Celtics legend. Howard recently signed a three-year deal with McDonald’s worth a reported $3 million per year. Filmed at Conseco Fieldhouse, the commercial is a spin on the famous “The Showdown” ad that Bird made with Michael Jordan. In that commercial, which first aired during the 1993 Super Bowl, the Hall of Famers engaged in a game of H-O-R-S-E with the winner getting a Big Mac. Bird and Jordan traded imaginary trick shots — the final one off a skyscraper’s roof top — which had to be sunk with “nothin’ but net.”
James has made previous Super Bowl ads for Bubblicious and State Farm.
