During President Donald Trump's tenure, often in conflict with outspoken sports stars, no NBA team visited the White House.
The Bucks were led by superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo who gave a speech on the lawn.
- This is one of the fantastic privileges to come to the White House and meet the President of the United States, says Antetokounmpo according to the NBA's website.
- You took a stand for justice and peace in the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and you have engaged people, says Biden, back from the climate summit in Glasgow, with a political cape.
The leadership of the Bucks has strong ties to the Democratic Party.
The most recent team to visit the White House was the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, which did so a few days after Trump was elected president while Barack Obama was still in office.
The absence began with Curry's marking
In 2017, Golden States' Stephen Curry had said he would decline an invitation - which never came.
In 2018, Trump announced even before the final, between Curry's Golden State and Trump critic LeBron James Cleveland, that there would be no invitation.
The 2019 champion Toronto visited the Canadian Parliament but said he was not interested in visiting the White House.
The 2020 champion of the Los Angeles Lakers was then led by LeBron James and then the White House had introduced restrictions due to the pandemic.
