On Monday (November 8), President Joe Biden honored the Milwaukee Bucks at the White House to celebrate their 2021 NBA championship win.
The team and those a part of the organization all met on the south lawn with the President as he gave a speech congratulating them on their win.
The team was taken on a tour of the White House and posted photos and videos on Twitter of the players.
In a video posted on Twitter by the official POTUS account, while signing basketballs, MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and Thanasis Antetokounmpo surprised the President with a pair of his size 17.5 shoes.
"We have a surprise for you. I really didn't know what size you were, but we brought you some shoes. It's size 17 and a half," Antetokounmpo said. The shoes were signed by both Giannis and Thanasis.
President Biden joked and said, "I don't think they will fit me. I don't think they are big enough."
Antetokounmpo went on to tell President Biden, "This is an unbelievable honor. I know for us to, for coming from Greece, Sepolia, Greece, from a little neighborhood, just being in the White House with you today, it's unbelievable."
The President responded by saying, "Well, I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're both here."
