Safe Mode: On
NBA Players To Hold “Obama Classic” To Raise Funds For Obama Reelection Campaign

It’s still possible to see NBA All Stars in action this year — if you’re willing to cough up cash for the Obama Victory Fund.

With
extra time on their hands because of pro basketball’s lockout, super
hoopsters Kevin Durant, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin are
among a few dozen current and former NBA players who have committed to
hit the hardwood for the first “Obama Classic” on Dec. 12, according to
an Obama campaign Web page set up for the event.“Athletes who support Obama … will play actual games at the
event in Washington,” Michael Blake, deputy director of the Obama
campaign’s “Operation Vote,” wrote in an email to prospective donors
that was obtained by POLITICO.http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/68730.html
