It took five years for the tradition of receiving the NBA champion in the White House to return and it was the Milwaukee Bucks, brand new monarchs, who were in charge of being the first guests in the administration of the president of the United States, Joe Biden.
This ceremony stopped taking place in previous years due to the difference of opinions between the previous president Donald Trump and the NBA players, the last ones who had been in Washington DC for an official visit were the Cavaliers.
The meeting was cordial and President Biden congratulated them on the championship and especially for raising their voices at that moment when they refused to play against Orlando when they were in the bubble after the Jacob Blake case in Wisconsin. Of course, there were also words of congratulations for Giannis Antetokounmpo for the extraordinary journey that has led him to be NBA champion.
