[Photos] Photos Basketball Wives & Fiancees Join Miami Heat at White House Visit

Welcome back! The Miami Heat and their respective better halfs, returned to the White House on Tuesday (January 14th) for a second straight year, celebrating their 2013 NBA championship.

During the press conference, where President Obama welcomes the team, he joked:

This group has now won twice, but it’s gone to the Finals three times, and sometimes it feels like they’re still fighting for a little respec. I can relate to that.

The team met with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. The team also visited with wounded warriors from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Obama added:

The Heat showed us the kind of heart and determination it takes to be a champion. They also showed what heart means off the court.

Watch the clip of Obama’s speech.

It’s the third visit for the franchise to the White House, including the 2012 and 2006 championships. During and after their visit teammates and their wives, fiancee’s and girlfriends shared their excitement on social media. Adrienne Bosh, the wife of Christopher Bosh wrote:

Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade’s fiancee added:

White House…Never Gets Old.
