Skip Bayless, Rachel Nichols and Keyshawn Johnson discuss the possibility of Team USA Basketball led by LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant potentially not securing the Gold in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Is it Gold or Bust for Team USA?

A surprise visitor dropped by the U.S. men's national basketball team's practice on Tuesday. Vice President Kamala Harris stopped by Team USA's training camp, but she did not leave without delivering a clear message.

"Bring back the gold," Harris said as she addressed the team.

Harris, a California native, has previously expressed her support for the Golden State Warriors. Team USA is currently being led by Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Steph Curry is on this year's roster.

Kerr said the vice president's visit helped remind everyone about the golden opportunity the team has to represent the US.

"It’s a great reminder of the fact that we’re playing for our country," Kerr said. "Vice President Harris told the guys how much she admired them, how much they really embody excellence and that we are going over there to try to win a gold medal for our country.  She said that it's a demonstration of our patriotic feeling of being part of something special for our country. And I think the guys really listened to every word."
