The Detroit Pistons met with President George Bush at the White Houst on Monday.
"Nobody expected you to win," Bush said to the team. "I know how you feel."
He congratulated the Pistons for winning a championship "the right way" - with teamwork.
Prior to the ceremony Rasheed Wallace was asked what he would say to the president, he said, "I don't have (expletive) to say to him. I didn't vote for him. It's just something we have to do."

Newly acquired Detroit Pistons guard Carlos Arroyo had surgery on his broken nose Monday and is doubtful for the next two games.
Arroyo broke his nose during a victory over New York on Saturday night, when he was accidentally hit in the face by the Knicks' Trevor Ariza.
He will be re-evaluated for Saturday's game at New Jersey. The former Jazz guard will have to wear a protective mask when he returns.

Newsday is reporting that there are reports in the Detroit Free Press that Larry Brown hopes to remain with the Detroit Pistons through the end of his coaching career, meaning if this was to happen he will never take the helm for the New York Knicks, his apparent dream job.
"I told him what I'm telling you," Brown told the Free Press. "Did I say it was my dream job? Yes, I told him it once was. But they passed me over twice. I grew up in New York. I talked to the guy about that. I talked to him about Red Holzman. ... I've never been smart enough to say 'no comment.'"
The Hall of Fame coach, who has three-plus years left on his $25 million, five-year contract, declined comment at Sunday's practice, but told the Free Press that coaching the Knicks is not in his future.
"Even if they offer me the job at the end of this season, I am not going to go coach the Knicks," Brown said.
