The “Be Like Mike” commercial featuring Michael Jordan, which ran in 1991, is back with a blending of its original footage, updates to its catchy music and animation.

The series of three new “Be Like Mike”-inspired ads aired during the NBA All-Star Weekend and were published on YouTube Wednesday.

The ads are part of Gatorade’s 50th anniversary celebration.
