Boston Celtics Visit The White House (Sep 19, 2008)

The 2007-2008 NBA Champs, Boston Celtics, visited the White House on Friday afternoon, September 19, 2008.

President Bush and team captain Paul Pierce addressed the media in the East Room. If you just want to hear Paul Pierce, skip to the 9:04 mark.

And if you want to hear President Bush say the word "Ubuntu," go to 7:06.



Hopefully the Celtics will be back again this time next year to visit the White House and Barack Obama.

Yup.

great, two things i hate looking back on, the bush presidency and the 2008 boston "one and done champion" celtics.

Lakers 2009 CHAMPS, we'll see you all on Jan 25th when Obama welcomes the real champions to the white house

"Real champions?"

What makes the Celtics '08 championship any less real than the Lakers '09 championship. C'mon now.

I'll give you the Bush presidency, though. No one likes looking back on that.
