Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns, Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem and former NBA forward Matt Barnes were in Florida on Thursday stumping for Joe Biden.
Towns, Haslem and Barnes spoke to Biden’s drive-in rally crowd before the Democratic candidate for president spoke. The Heat veteran advised the crowd to get out and vote, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
“Tell a friend. Get together a plan. Tell a cousin. Tell an uncle. I'm getting together my homeboys,” Haslem said, adding that voter suppression was “real” and throwing his support behind Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.
The Timberwolves star also spoke at the rally, according to the Miami Herald. He said he couldn’t wait to see Biden step into the Oval Office when he became president.
Biden thanked the NBA players for coming to stump for him. He praised the Heat team for making the NBA Finals even though he admittedly comes from “Sixers Country.”
