* In a [[McDonald's]] commercial from 1991 (first aired during the [[Super Bowl]]), Bird and [[Michael Jordan]] have a trick shot contest, in which the winner got Jordan's lunch and the loser had to watch the winner eat. In a commercial during [[Super Bowl XLIV]], [[Dwight Howard]] and [[LeBron James]] challenge each other at trick shots for a [[McDonald's]] lunch. After they finish, clapping is heard, then the camera pans to the crowd, and Bird says "Great show, guys. Thanks for lunch." Howard and James share a confused look. Howard asks, "Who was that?" James replies, "I have no idea."<ref>{{cite web |title = FULL VERSION: McDonald's Commercial with LeBron James and Dwight Howard | date=February 7, 2010 |url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmrTDZy3f2M |archive-url = https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211028/PmrTDZy3f2M |archive-date = October 28, 2021 |via = YouTube |access-date = April 16, 2011 }}{{cbignore}}</ref>
