Unexpected but much appreciated. The American men's basketball team, currently in preparation camp in Las Vegas before the 2024 Paris Games, received a visit from Barack Obama this week. The former president attended the evening given for the 50th anniversary of the American federation (USA Basketball), where he gave a ten-minute speech on the importance of representing the United States at the Olympic Games “I have no doubt they will bring home the gold and represent us the way we should be represented around the world., declared Barack Obama. I came to greet the players before their departure. But I also want to thank the legends who have represented USA Basketball and America for 50 years now. » The former tenant of the White House then attended the victory of the United States over Canada in a preparation match from the sidelines (photo above). Earlier in the day, LeBron James and his Team USA teammates received a visit, also a surprise, from American Vice President Kamala Harris during a training session on the UNLV campus, University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
