As it turns out even the President was effected by the lockout, as the “Obama Classic” exhibition game (doubling as a campaign fundraiser) was delayed until 2012 due to the lockout ending.
“We’re sorry to delay the event, but it’s safe to say this game will be worth waiting for. It’s going to be a great time,” reads the email to supporters. It was signed by NBA stars Vince Carter, Baron Davis and Chris Paul. All three are confirmed to play in the game.
No matter, at least you can still score a commemorative “Barack Obama 44th President Limited Edition jersey” Made of 2-Ply tricot mesh. That’s something — right?
