The Celtics went to the White House last Friday, and gave President George W Bush exactly what he always wanted: a Kendrick Perkins jersey. Ok, so that's not totally true, but they did present the president with a #43 "Bush" jersey.
It's customary for the champions in each major sport, as well as many college sports, to make a visit to the White House. When the Celtics made theirs, Paul Pierce showed that he might even be a significantly better public speaker than the President himself. President Bush expounded about the the depth of the bench, and "congressiolated" all of them.The Celtics also donated $100,000 to the Red Cross Relief effort for the victims of Hurricane Ike.
