When I was 10 years old, my father gave me my first  basketball. It wasn't too long before I became a basketball  fanatic.
It's a game I still love -- and one I've shared with my  two girls.
Later this month, some of the greatest players to ever  step foot on a basketball court are getting together in  New York to support my campaign. People like Patrick  Ewing, Sheryl Swoopes, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh,  Rajon Rondo, and so many more -- they're all doing this  because they believe in what we're building together.
So I'm asking a few grassroots supporters and a guest of  their choice to join me -- and that impressive roster -- for  a once-in-a-lifetime night. We'll catch up over dinner, and  then some of the players will get together for a casual shootaround.  Who knows? Maybe I'll even get out on the court to shoot  some hoops with you guys. If you join us, don't be surprised  if I challenge you or your guest to play.
