Soon Joe Biden will leave the White House passing the presidential duties to President-elect Donald Trump. Ahead of his departure from the Oval Office, the United States President has recently hosted the 2024 NBA champion Boston Celtics in the White House. While it was an honor for the team, one particular incident sparked discussion, and fans seemingly engaged with it for fun.
Joe Biden fumbled while introducing the Boston Celtics at the White House
Joe Biden almost misidentified the Boston Celtics while welcoming them to the White House. The short video of his fumble appeared online and created a wave of discussion. "The 2024 NBA Champions, the Bo..." Biden fumbled. He soon turned back at the team and conformed with them, "The Celtics, right?"
As the video surfaced online, fans rushed to social media to react to the incident. “Bro how does that happen?” one user wrote on X adding a crying emoji.
“How is he president?” another wrote. “Don't disrespect the best team in the league,” one user reacted to the fumble.
“I’m so glad he’s gonna be out of office soon,” another wrote. “BROOO, Joe Biden would make a good comedian,” one user mocked.
Addressing the crowd with The Celtics behind him, Biden celebrated the team. “The Celtics aren’t just a basketball team. They’re a way of life,” he said. He further shared that his Secret Service code name is “Celtic.”
“For real. Because I’m Irish. Everybody behind me is Irish in their heart. I feel a special pride in this trophy. From this old Irish Celtic, to all you Celtics, congratulations,” the president said.
