Trump says he’s considering inviting Raptors to White House to celebrate NBA championship

Will the NBA champion Toronto Raptors be invited to the White House?

President Donald Trump was asked by a reporter whether the league’s only Canadian-based team would get the traditional invitation during a media availability Thursday at the White House with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Most of the Raptors are from the U.S.

“They played phenomenal basketball, I watched a little bit of it, they were really terrific, congratulations, that was a great job by a great team, so we’ll think about that,” Trump said.

After winning the 1992 World Series, the Blue Jays visited the White House and Parliament Hill on the same day.
