3 NBA coaches/owners that are backing Harris.
Love to see all 3 together somehow in some commercials or at rallies.
Might help some in attracting younger male voters.

There was a Facebook meme some time ago attributed to Betty White, although she denied saying it, but it goes something like "Why do they say it takes balls when they're so tiny & fragile. Now a vagina, that takes a pounding."

It's kind of crude but makes a point.

Usually, a coach gets 2 in a row and then the trades start. Great for him!

The one thing I could never figure out about his supporters:

TRUMP IS AN ASSHOLE!! He's always been one. Why would anyone support a man-baby whose such a jerk-off???
