At a fundraising event last weekend, NBA superstar LeBron James attempted to sing Michael Jackson’s classic R&B hit “Rock With You.”

James and several other Miami Heat players showed off their vocal talents (or lack thereof) at The Battier Take Charge Foundation’s South Beach Battioke 2013 last weekend.

The NBA stars sang in efforts to raise money for fellow Miami Heat player, Shane Battier and his wife Heidi’s educational foundation.

Their foundation helps provide resources for at-risk students.

Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, and Ray Allen were among the other performers.
