Larry Bird is still awesome

Aside from Betty White getting wrecked on a crossing route… this year's Super Bowl ads were mildly amusing at best.

But this one, obviously, stood out in our hearts. 

If you missed it, it's the McDonald's updated version of these classic Larry Bird/Michael Jordan ads:

Nice warmups, Mike.  Did you give them back to Bill Cosby when you were done?

Of course, the updated version is all crazy CGI dunks that only exist in NBA Jam… but whatever.  It's fine.  The crowning moment is when LB shows up at the end and takes LeBron's and Dwight's lunch. 

Fitting, cuz back in the day, Bird would have found a way to do that on the court.

Unfortunately… it looks like he's literally stolen people's lunches a little too much lately.  Sorry Larry… I love ya and all… but maybe you should try a salad.
