There really is a twist to the remake of the classic McDonald’s “The Showdown” commercial between Michael Jordan and Larry Bird in 1993 as they fight over a Big Mac.

After the remake preview, I predicted that Lebron James and Dwight Howard will try to out stand each other in a dunking game instead of a shooting game.

Seems like I’m right on the money.

Check out the full Lebron James / Dwight Howard McDonald’s commercial below. It was broadcast before the kickoff of Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010.

I was disappointed at Larry Bird’s appearance at the end though. It should have been Michael Jordan asking the two if he can join them.

I just hope there will be a one-year-later sequel.

Check out Dockers Super Bowl XLIV ad as well.
