Andrew Bogut visits Barack Obama

Continuing a tradition, the NBA champion Golden State Warriors have been feted by US President Barack Obama at the White House.

Andrew Bogut and his NBA championship-winning Golden State Warriors have been welcomed by US President Barack Obama at the White House.

Melbourne-born Bogut and his team-mates had plenty of laughs, and some red faces, as the basketball-loving president poked fun and heaped praise on the team.

It is a tradition for the winning teams of America's top sporting leagues to visit the president, with two other Australian basketball players, Patty Mills and Aron Baynes, stopping by the White House last year after the San Antonio Spurs won the 2014 championship.
