It had been an annual tradition for pro and college sports teams, after winning their championship, to take a victory lap to the White House.

But that may be changing with President-elect Joe Biden, who is slated to be sworn in on January 20.
According to Chris Haynes at Yahoo! Sports, that yearly tradition may be back on track as the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers are ready to make the celebratory excursion back to the Oval Office.
