Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. Visited President Joe Biden, but Donte caught the attention of the President
Notably, Giannis, who won the Finals MVP, was also acknowledged by the President. It was after a while that an NBA team met the president. Former President Barack Obama, who is a huge fan of basketball, had met players like Steph Curry and LeBron James. Though last year, the President had the attention of the Bucks’ role player for a valid reason.
Right at the start of the ceremony, President Biden Joe thanked his colleagues and congratulated the team. At first, former Bucks player, Donte DiVincenzo was startled when the President honored him. For the unaware, Donte and the president share the same home state, Delaware.

President Biden had nothing but respect for Giannis. Notably, Giannis’ family moved to Greece, and eventually, the three brothers worked their way to play in the US. The President mentioned how the three brothers had to share basketball shoes at one point and how Giannis now has an endorsement deal with Nike.
President Joe Biden also highlighted Donte’s college career. DiVincenzo played for Villanova, where he won 2 championships. While in the NBA, Donte had his best season with the Bucks, averaging 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists. But he got injured after the first 2 games of the playoffs and missed the rest of the postseason. However, in the end, Donte ended up with a ring.
