President George W. Bush on Friday welcomed the Boston Celtics to the White House to celeberate the team's 17th NBA championship, declaring "Celtic pride is back."
Bush saluted Celtics' captain Paul Pierce, who led the team to a title and was MVP of the finals despite suffering a knee injury early in the series.
"Playing hurt in a championship game is the ultimate sign of leadership," Bush said during an East Room ceremony.
