And finally, thanks to @Eminem, one last message from President @BarackObama …

The third returns for the All-Star game rosters came out on Thursday and the only major change was Andre Drummond falling out of the starting lineup in the east for Carmelo Anthony. The Detroit Pistons center has had a phenomenal season thus far and he will certainly be an all-star this season.
The Pistons, however, seem intent on getting their star into the starting lineup. The team posted a new video as part of their all-star campaign for the star. The video is an overdub of President Obama “rapping” along to Eminem’s “Forgot About Dre.” Eminem, a Detroit legend in his own right, also sent out the celebrity tweet that has so often led to starting all-star spots:
Yo! Please RT this to send #Detroit's @AndreDrummondd to his first NBA All-Star game #NBAVote

This new video comes on the heels of previous ones created by the Pistons. Amazingly, one of those previous videos also featured Obama “rapping” this time to a Drake’s “Jumpman.” No word on how President Obama, a Chicago Bulls fan, is taking this.
This is everything. RT @DetroitPistons:

I think it’s safe to say the Pistons want their star center in the all-star game. They certainly did not forget about Andre.
