The Boston Celtics, NBA champions, will be visiting the White House on Thursday to meet with President Joe Biden before their game against the Washington Wizards. This will be their second and final visit to Washington during the regular season. The Celtics won their record 18th championship in June by defeating the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals in five games. The team first visited the White House as champions in 1963 during the John F. Kennedy administration and their last visit was in 2008 when they met with former President George W. Bush. This traditional champions’ visit to the White House is a long-standing practice in professional sports to honor the winning team’s achievement. The Celtics’ visit to the White House will be a special occasion as they meet with President Biden before their game against the Wizards, continuing a tradition that dates back to the early days of the franchise.
