Not only do the Detroit Pistons deserve to have star center Andre Drummond make the All-Star game for this -- the team deserves some sort of commemorative section in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Them boys -- or at least their social media staff -- are definitely up to something.

As context: The NBA incorporates social media into its All-Star voting. One can tweet a player's name or handle with the hashtag #NBAvote. That counts as a vote toward the All-Star game -- and each retweet the original post receives counts as an additional vote. Fans, players and teams have all gotten into the act.
But the Pistons came along on Tuesday and changed the dang game. Behold this post supporting the cause of center Andre Drummond. It features a supercut of Barack Obama rapping the Drake and Future hit "Jumpman," but with a nice Drummond-centric spin. The post included the #NBAvote hashtage and implored fans to retweet.
And now, thanks to Toronto's own @Drake, a message from President @BarackObama ... RT #NBAVote Andre Drummond https://t.co/5s0VHNI0YL— Detroit Pistons (@DetroitPistons) January 5, 2016
Now here's the original if you'd like to a compare and contrast.
So, to recap: Drummond deserves to start the All-Star game and the person or people responsible for this deserve a raise.
