On Monday, President Barack Obama honored the Miami Heat for winning the 2012 NBA championship. "Everybody doing their part, is what finally put the Heat over the top," Obama said, as he welcomed the team to the White House Monday to celebrate their victory. LeBron James presented Obama with an autographed basketball and had a special message for his ‘mama.’ "…I mean, we’re kids from Chicago and Dallas, Texas and Michigan and Ohio and South Dakota — Miami. And we’re in the White House right now. This is like, ‘Hey, mama, I made it.’"
