Michelle Obama reportedly meets with NBA, WNBA players to talk importance of voting

Former First Lady Michelle Obama planned to meet with NBA and WNBA players on Sunday afternoon to talk about voting, Oklahoma City Thunder star and president of the Players Association Chris Paul said.

Obama’s push on voting came just 100 days out from election day in November, part of the “When We All Vote” campaign. She announced on Sunday that they have already registered 100,000 new voters through that campaign, and hope to double that number before November.

"We're gonna talk about the importance of voting and making sure your voice is heard," Paul said after their scrimmage on Sunday, via The Oklahoman.
