Kamala Harris Stops By Team USA Basketball Practice In Las Vegas
All eyes in the political world are on Kamala Harris right now, but the Vice President made time to hang out with the Team USA basketball squad … meeting up with a ton of NBA superstars!!
Harris — who walked in alongside head coach Steve Kerr — was a V(I)P surprise guest at UNLV’s basketball facility … where she chopped it up with LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Curry and more.

The squad seemed to be in great spirits as they conversed with Harris … getting a bit of a pep talk about making the country proud at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
It doesn’t seem like it got that deep … so probably no questions from the hoopers on whether President Joe Biden‘s really going to remain in the upcoming election against Donald Trump.

Of course, a handful of Democratic lawmakers have called on Biden to step aside in order to allow Harris to take over the top of the ticket … but No. 46 has remained adamant he’s not going anywhere.
As for the team, they’re the heavy favorites to bring home the gold this year … thanks to a stacked roster from top to bottom.
The practice was a quick pit stop for Harris … who then made her way to a campaign event nearby — which makes sense, as Nevada is one of the key states in the upcoming election.
