Curry starred in the series, combining with Kevin Durant to score 41 points in Game 5 on Monday, and beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1 for the Warriors second championship in three years.
NBA Finals champions, the Golden State Warriors, said earlier this week in a statement that no decision had been made on if they would visit President Donald Trump at the White House - if they were even invited to the White House - as is tradition of championship-winning teams.
However, that idea fizzled fast when the Warriors opened with a pair of lopsided wins at home, fought back late to steal the next game in Cleveland and then, after dropping their first game of the post-season, closed out the series at home.
The first-ever NBA Finals trilogy is over, and the Golden State Warriors are NBA Champions again. That supercharged a cast that features two of the most unsafe three-point shooters in NBA history (Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson), one of the most versatile two-way players in the NBA (Draymond Green), a deep reserve of former All-Stars (Andre Iguodala and David West), and serviceable veterans (Shaun Livingston, JaVale McGee, Matt Barnes).
Golden State Warriors fans are breakdancing in downtown Oakland and honking their horns in San Francisco to celebrate their team's latest National Basketball Association title.

Three-point jump shots, points in the paint, and a tight defense gave them the lead going into the fourth quarter.
As the gold confetti fell and a fresh gray National Basketball Association champion cap sat a tad off-kilter on his head, Kevin Durant embraced his mother Wanda. He is now 3-5 in his eight NBA Finals appearances.

In a May interview with Sports Illustrated, head coach Steve Kerr called Mr. Trump "ill-suited" to be president and a "blowhard". I need to sit down and figure this thing out.
After getting his own back this time around, Durant said: "He averaged a triple-double - you just can't stop the guy - but we got him".
Warriors star Stephen Curry celebrated his second championship with his adorable daughters, Riley (left) and Ryan.
"The toughest challenge was to come in here and see how I can help this team get better", Durant said.
Durant has now scored 25 points or more in each of his first 10 finals games - a feat previously achieved only by Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal.
Did you see that KD commercial?: Nike wasted no time in throwing out a new Kevin Durant commercial after Golden State's championship. "To be here with these guys is awesome", Durant said, who poured in with 39 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in 40 minutes.
Durant may have a point: He's the only top-three draft pick on the Warriors' roster.
