Michael Jordan,NBA players to raise money for Obama

[cal04]

President Barack Obama is joining with NBA legend Michael Jordan and an array of basketball stars to raise money for his re-election campaign.

The Obama campaign is planning a fundraising "shoot-around" and dinner in New York on Aug. 22 featuring several NBA stars, including Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks, Rajon Rondo of the Boston Celtics, John Wall of the Washington Wizards and others.

Jordan and NBA Commissioner David Stern are co-hosting a $20,000-per person fundraising dinner with Obama later in the day. A similar "Obama Classic" basketball event planned for last December was postponed after team owners and players reached a labor deal following a lockout.

Obama's campaign plans to raffle off the chance for grassroots supporters to attend the events.

1. I want to see MJ go one on one with LeBron

LeBron James is great. So is Kobe.

If you didn't see Michael Jordan, you didn't see the real thing, kid.

Us Gen Xers know who the greatest of all time is.

2. Have You Seen Jordan Lately?

MJ needs to go one on one with Jenny Craig.
