#1.1 — McDonald’s — LeBron/Dwight Howard H.O.R.S.E.
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010sjbooher: I’m not even sure if this technically qualifies as it was pre-kickoff, but I’m including it. Nice little remake of the O.G. Jordan/Bird McDonald’s H.O.R.S.E. ad. They captured the spirit of the original but tweaked to cater to LeBron and Howard. And nice little joke at the end with the guys not recognizing Bird. B+
jtherkal: I’m not a huge fan of remakes, but you can’t deny true star power. There’s nothing really wrong with this commercial, but there’s nothing spectacular. It’s sort of like we’re playing horse. You give it a B+, so do I. No letters. B+. Next.
