President Biden wanted to wrap up his appearance with the NBA Champion Golden State Warriors on Tuesday by taking a knee with Vice President Kamala Harris.
But she refused and chuckled: 'I'm not doing that' – leaving the 80-year-old on the front of the stage, on his own, in an awkward end to the photo-op.
The gesture from the president was met with laughter from the team and sounds of shock from the audience, including from his No. 2, who didn't want to join in on the kneeling position that became popular with athletes during Black Lives Matter protests.
The entire ordeal was perplexing, as panic-stricken players reached their arms out to help the president up when it appeared he almost fell – but Biden was only pretending to struggle and landed in what he thought was an athletic pose with a smirk.
Earlier in the event, Biden also fumbled by seeming to forget Harris' first name, calling her 'CAM-a-la' rather than the correct pronunciation of 'COMMA-la.'
Biden and Harris, 58, appeared to not be able to find a good spot during a photo-op with the team, concluding a White House celebration for the reigning champions.
'I'll tell you what,' Biden said before taking a knee on a small platform in front of the team

Kamala: Homie don’ do dat
Where is BLM? This is a direct affront to them.
But she's (less than half) Black, so she gets a pass.
C/mon, man. Joe lives in the past. If he comes across a rerun of “That 70’s Show” on TV, he probably wonders how they know what the future will look like, because he thinks it’s 1966 and he confuses that show with “The Jetsons”.
She liked the Brown, Willie!
What was the idiot-in-chief doing kneeling anyway?
Delighted our Georgia Bulldogs have not been to the White House either of these past two seasons of glory. No need to flatter that imbecile.
You’re dreaming.
Lives in the past? The guy who says “malarkey,” wears aviator shades, and drives and early Corvette? Nah.
Hi.
I wonder if dementia can be a defense against impeachment.

Sure....
Brilliant!
Did any American media cover this?
He’s always been the “look at me” class clown — and never funny at it one bit. The only reason people chuckle at those stupid, immature antics is his position.
Thank you, 81 million.
Women drink white wine for a reason...
She either didn’t want to get her outfit dirty or didn’t want to split her pants.
The correct pronunciation is ‘Kam-El-TOE’
Joe thinks if he’s a hero to BLM and Antifa that it gives him a pass on espionage... That’s how white liberal ‘elites’ play the black community. It’s disusing. Most people in the black community do NOT support criminals and most DO support our country.
It must be a double.....motions are to quick for a SlowJoe
Are you sure that’s an NBA team? I see more than one white guy and that’s usually the owner.
Kamala is from SF, so that’s theoretically her team, right?
