If you "like Mike" and support Barack Obama, someone on the president's campaign staff was thinking of you.
Obama for America is running a fundraising contest that will let a few lucky fans get on the court with the president and some of basketball's all-time greats, not the least of which is Michael Jordan. A donation of at least $3 on BarackObama.com is required to enter, and the deadline is August 10.
The "Obama Classic," as the campaign is dubbing the event, will also include appearances by Carmelo Anthony, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Sheryl Swoops and others yet to be named.
Two people will each take a guest to an event that will include a shootaround via paid round-trip airfare and hotel accomodations.
The time and location of the event has not been decided.
