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.
