(Video) Miami Heat Visits President Barack Obama at White House
President Barack Obama welcomed the Miami Heat back to the White House on Tuesday, this time to honor the team for its 2012-13 NBA championship.
The president opened by recounting the numerous accomplishments of the team last season, including Miami's team-record 66 wins.
"Extraordinarily impressive, almost as impressive as the (Chicago) Bulls' 72-win season," said Obama, referencing his hometown NBA team.
Obama remained lighthearted throughout the ceremony and told numerous jokes that received applause and laughter during a five-minute speech.
In explaining how nothing brings Democrats and Republicans together like sports, Obama said politicians in both parties were excited about Miami making its second trip to the White House.
