Attempting their play on Michael Jordan and Larry Bird’s memorable original, LeBron and Dwight tried their hand @ a McDonald’s commercial that made its debut last night before the game. While MJ and Bird’s centered around their shooting acumen, this new version was a dunk contest.
When I first watched it, I thought “cool.” As I watched it to do the writeup, I kept giggling, expecting the dialogue to change and LBJ to say something slick about Royce. “Yeah yeah, that ain’t nothing. Royce touched it in Miami, boy.” on some Jay & Nas shit. Corny, but that would’ve made one for the ages.

or…they coulda, y’know, actually dunked
For a minute, I thought someone had hacked into my television and was playing a video game…
Then I realized that it was just a bad commercial (and CGI).
Didn’t see this.
“Booooooooooo!” @ McDonald’s.
CGI? Ew. Tron meets Space jam
i second that
LAME as hell!
best part was larry comin out at the end,thanks for lunch guys,other than that,pretty forgettable.
They didn’t know who Larry Bird was?
not bad… but they can’t say they didn’t know Larry Bird. The man is a Legend… they shoulda ended the commercial as Bird walks out…
I think the dunks looked cool lol
Lebron didn’t enter this years dunk contest because they wouldn’t let him use a harness and green screen for his dunks.
Damn Bron was like fuck it in this commercial, came in there with that rough haircut lol
That occurs like this at mac Donald !
They probably had to use fake dunks because after eating McDonald’s food they couldn’t really do it.
