Vacation can certainly do you good. After having an extended vacation in Oahu, Hawaii as part of her husband's gift to her before her 50th birthday, the First Lady is in good spirits.

A video of U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama videobombing an interview of a couple of Miami Heat basketball players and their coach is circulating all over the Internet. The First Lady had the help of NBA star LeBron James and Heat star Chris Bosh to accomplish the otherwise hilarious feat while Dwayne Wade, Ray Allen and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra talked about Obama's recent cause.

The video uploaded by Fox News on Youtube showed the interview happening in the White House's the Mural Room, where U.S. President Barack Obama and the First Lady hosted the NBA season champions on January 14 for winning the past season for the second straight year.

While Wade, Allen and Spoelstra talked about the merits of healthy eating, following Obama's recent advocacy Let's Move!, which aims to tackle the alarming rate of childhood obesity in the country, Lebron, Bosh and Michelle started video-bombing the three from the background, said the New York Post. The First Lady and James then capped the video, with James holding a small basketball ring low enough for Obama to do a playful slam dunk.

Although the video was both bizarre and funny to viewers, it turned out to be an effective marketing tool to garner some supporters for Obama's health campaign. The New York Daily News reports that Subway, the popular sandwich chain, will be pledging $41 million over a three-year period in support of the First Lady's cause. The announcement, said the news site, will be done by Obama at a Subway shop close to the White House.
