The Vietnam Game of Basketball: Angelica Reese meets Joe Biden on a phone call to celebrate the women’s basketball championship win at the White House

I know my team would love to go, but I will do what is best for the team. We decide if they want to go, then we go.

Reese said on Wednesday that there would be no visit to the White House by her team after they won the women’s basketball national championship.

Reese didn’t accept the apology from the hosts of “I AM ATHLETE” after what she said about Biden suggesting Iowa be invited as well. They can have a spotlight. We will go to the Obamas. We are going to see michelle. We’ll see Barack.”

“In the beginning, we were hurt,” Reese said. “It was emotional for us because we know how hard we worked all year for everything. It hurt us when we saw that.

The champion will always come to the White House. We hope that LSU will come, but you know, I am going to tell Joe. [Biden] I think Iowa should come, too, because they played such a good game.”

Reese, a 20-year-old forward, responded to Biden’s comments, calling them “A JOKE” on Monday, and on an Instagram post from “The Shade Room,” the recently crowned NCAA champion commented: “WE NOT COMING. period.”

By Tuesday, Biden appeared to walk back the comments, with first lady press secretary Vanessa Valdivia saying in a tweet that they “were intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes. She looks forward to celebrating the LSU Tigers on their championship win at the White House.”

Reese’s teammate Alex Morris took to Twitter to ask Michelle Obama whether her team could celebrate their win at their house, after Barack tweeted his congratulations to the team.

President Joe Biden has spoken with Louisiana State University basketball star Angel Reese in a phone call to congratulate her on the Tigers’ NCAA championship win, the White House said Friday.

Following Sunday’s national championship victory, Mulkey said she would go to the White House if the team was invited. The athletics department said they would accept the invitation.
