One of the perks of winning a sports championship – besides the potential to be named your city’s most successful franchise – is the congratulatory call from the Baller in Chief.

The Storm are expected to get that other compulsory honor – an actual White House visit and photo-op with the First Fan – sometime within the next year. No word on whether or not there will be any non-compulsory games of H-O-R-S-E.
