Boston Celtics Celebrate 18th Championship at White House

The Boston Celtics celebrated their 18th NBA championship with President Joe Biden at the White House, marking a significant milestone for the franchise. During the ceremony, Biden praised the team's impressive season, including their record of 64 wins, and acknowledged star players like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The visit, a tradition for championship-winning teams, also marked a notable moment as it could be one of the last times Biden meets with an NBA team while in office. The Celtics' victory over the Dallas Mavericks secured their title in June, making them the all-time leaders in NBA championships. Biden humorously referenced his Secret Service name, 'Celtic,' highlighting his Irish heritage and connection to the team. This event continues a longstanding tradition of honoring sports teams at the White House, dating back to the 19th century.
