WATCH: Michael Jordan vs Michael Jordan Battle in Rare 2003 Gatorade Commercial

Most recently, the basketball world was entertained by the NBA-75 and Christmas advertisements. But in the past, there have been numerous iconic commercials featuring NBA legends. Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan is one of them.

 

 

On multiple occasions, the 14-time All-star has featured in ads that have lived on in fans’ minds. Today, we look at a Gatorade commercial from way back in 2003.

 

 

A near perfect player in his day, Michael Jordan inspired millions of young stars in the making. With six titles to his name, he is a certified NBA veteran. If you were to ask the game’s biggest buffs to list their biggest icon of the 90s, Jordan’s name would probably pop up the most. The perfect rags to riches story, MJ took the league by storm during his younger days. In no time, he became a global celebrity, earning the big bucks and big endorsements.
