Basketball icon LeBron James will be wearing a Golden Arches jersey on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Cleveland Cavaliers forward has signed a multi-year contract with McDonald’s — and his first commercial appearance will be in a remake of the 1993 Super Bowl spot “The Showdown,” which featured hoop hall-of-famers Michael Jordan and Larry Bird.
The new James spot, to air during the Feb. 7 pre-game show on CBS, will again feature Bird, along Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard, who recently signed a three-year endorsement deal with the fast-food giant.
In the original ad, Jordon and Bird play a high-stakes game of H-O-R-S-E, with the winner getting Jordon’s Big Mac.
