Michelle Obama dunks with the Miami Heat
(CNN) - First lady Michelle Obama shows off her basketball moves in a new video with The Miami Heat, last year's NBA champions.
Released by her "Let's Move" campaign against obesity, the video features the first lady giving tips about healthy eating and drinking water with stars LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, and coach Erik Spoelstra.

The team stopped by the White House last week, where President Barack Obama congratulated the players and coaches for winning the world championship two years in a row.
The first lady posted a tease of the video last Tuesday on her Instagram account, with a photo of her sitting around with the athletes as they ate apples.

Just focus on EDUCATION–enough of these ball-games in USA. While other nations are forwarding we are going back.
Best First Lady of my lifetime.
Coolest First Lady EVER!!!!
Very cool first Lady !
Is it me? Why is it that Democratic First Ladies seem to be younger than Republican First Ladies?
Faux news: The first thing an evil dictator does is pass out apples.
Wow...She's already back from her month vacation in Hawaii? Guess it's back to very important work now...what a joke...
Eleanor Roosevelt is smiling somewhere. Conservative talk boxes are always going to be bugged by an outspoken woman. When I see some of the in depth researched commentary here like "...what a joke...", I know the conservative extreme is trying to hang on to a fleeting mythology.
"She's already back from her month vacation in Hawaii?"
Yea, there was no brush left to cut in Crawford after the years bush spent there with his chainsaw.
Why do you republicant's always pick on the first ladies? I have a theory on that... should you wish to hear it.
@Gladiatior:
Actually, you are the joke. She has projects just like every other First Ladies, well most of them. This was a
very cute "commercial" about eating well.
She is full of life, loves her family and does her "important work" very well.......taking care of her daughters.
Big deal.

Evil socialist = "full of life, loves her family and does her "important work" very well.......taking care of her daughters."
GOP family values = prostitute scandal, racketeering in NJ, taking money from the poor to give to CEOs.

Younger. Smarter. More professionally accomplished. And NOT medicated.
More wasted time and tax payers funds, what a joke we have become because of the ineptness of the Obammys

One political camp TALKS a lot about morality and family values. The other actually does something about it.
Luke 6:44 “For every tree is known by its fruits, for they do not pick figs from thorns, neither do they gather grapes from a bush.” (couldn't help it – sorry)
Why don't they show a little diversity? Couldn't they find a whie guy and a hispanic to broaden the appeal? Isn't it a bit racist to only have blacks in it?
