In celebration of the Milwaukee Bucks’ historic NBA Championship victory, President Joe Biden invited the team to the White House.

Not only was the event joyous, but it was also historic because it was the first time in almost five years that NBA Championships were hosted in the White House. When President Barack Obama was in office, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were NBA champions, paid a visit to the White House on November 10, 2016.

Star player Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke about the value of hard work during the event on Monday.

“With hard work, with sacrifices… if you dedicate yourself, wake up every day, and try and get better at anything you do, anything you love, and believe in your dreams, you can accomplish great things in life,” Antetokounmpo stated.

President Biden received a customized green Bucks jersey with his last name printed on the back somewhere else during the special event.

Biden praised the squad for their significant victory and joyfully took the personalized shirt.

“To all the players, that’s what you represent for so many people—pride and decency,” remarked Vice President Biden. “You represented yourself, your families, your organizations, and a great American city by staying true to who you are.”

During the ceremony, a band sang the song “We are the Champions,” while the president and the team took group photos.

It was an absolutely amazing day for a lot of the team members.

Basketball star Pat Connaughton of the Bucks described his experience as “a kid from Arlington sitting at the White House steps.”

“What a fantastic experience! Amazing adventure,” Antetokounmpo tweeted.
