Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dwight Howard shot a commercial for McDonalds showing them engaging in a game of H-O-R-S-E.
It has not been officially released yet but as shown in the preview released by McDonald’s, it is a remake of the classic “showdown” between Michael Jordan and Larry Bird in 1993 as they fight over a Big Mac.
I think the one between Lebron and Dwight will have a twist to it. Knowing the leaping ability and dunking prowess of these two superstars, they might dunk the ball instead of shooting it.
Watch and compare the videos below:
Lebron/Dwight remake
Jordan/Bird original
The complete version of the Lebron/Dwight showdown will be unveiled on Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010.

The dunks are sooo fake. But then again, the two of them can’t shoot so its better I think.

Yeah, it would be more unrealistic putting Lebron and Dwight together in a shooting contest.
