LAS VEGAS — Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team during a break at practice Tuesday. Stepping onto the court at 4:23 p.m. ET, she was escorted to the star-studded group of players by head coach Steve Kerr.

Harris shook hands with Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry before she spoke with the team at Mendenhall Arena at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

“Our nation is cheering you on. We are so proud of you,” she said. “Go to Paris and bring back that gold.” She then shook hands with Devin Booker, LeBron James and Anthony Edwards before she took a photo with the entire roster.

The U.S. team — loaded with future Basketball Hall of Famers, including Curry, James, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard — plays Canada in an exhibition Wednesday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It begins its quest for an Olympic gold medal July 28 vs. Serbia.

Every Olympics the U.S. sends professional NBA all-stars to stomp on other nation's amateurs. Professionals should be banned from the Olympics. I remember when we used to condemn the Russians for this practice.
