The results of the Presidential election on Tuesday will determine who will be the country's leader for the next four years. But before a new Commander in Chief steps into the Oval Office, President Barack Obama has several items to check off his to-do list. Like congratulating the Cleveland Cavaliers for winning the 2016 NBA championship.

The Cavs will visit the White House on Thursday, Nov. 10, the day before they play the Washington Wizards in the nation's capitol. They will be the last team Obama will honor before he leaves office.

From ESPN's DaveMcMenamin:

"It's going to be special for the simple fact that not only am I going to be there with my Cleveland teammates, but I'm there when Barack is on his way out," James said. "Like I said, he's been a great role model, especially to African-American kids. What he did was something that you never thought could be possible. Being a black president, for me to be there when he's on his way out and his last term is ending, I think that's pretty significant as well."

...

"Having our first black president was a big thing for me and for my family and I know for a lot of others," Lue said. "I know having a chance for these guys to see a black president in office is a big thing. It's a big deal. So, that's one of the reasons why I wanted it to be while he was still in office because you never know if it will ever happen again."

The President is an avid basketball fan and relishes the opportunity to congratulate NBA teams on their championship. He also has a great sense of humor and likes to crack jokes about the winning team and how they won their championship. It will be interesting to see if he can actually come up with a few zingers for a team that is the first to overcome a 3-1 deficit in NBA Finals history.
