Gatorade is re-launching its memorable 1990s “Be Like Mike” commercial on Sunday with appearances from Zion Williamson, Elena Delle Donne and Jayson Tatum.

The “Be Like Mike” ad inspired generations of basketball players to emulate Michael Jordan on and off of the court. The commercial ultimately became one of the most popular with Jordan and Gatorade is set to remake it with several of the next up-and-coming basketball players.

The trio of basketball stars will appear in the new ad that will air ahead of “The Last Dance” documentary on Sunday night. They will recreate moments from the original campaign showing that, even now, they still want to be like Mike.

Of course, the three players set to appear in the re-launch have all looked up to Jordan growing up. Williamson and Tatum are each signed to Jordan Brand while Delle Donne has said in the past that she never missed one of his games.
