The latest Obama campaign contest offers some quality time on the basketball court with the President and a few friends. Politico says, “supporters have an opportunity to attend an event with basketball stars Carmelo Anthony, Patrick Ewing, and Michael Jordan, the campaign announced Tuesday. "Imagine shooting hoops" with those stars, deputy national field director Marlon Marshall wrote in an email to supporters. Other attendees include Sheryl Swoopes, Kyrie Irving, and Alonzo Mourning. It's the latest in a long string of campaign events designed to engage grassroots supporters and boost the campaign's small donor number.” More from Politico’s 44.
