While the Warriors haven't formally met to discuss whether they will visit President Donald Trump's White House as is customary for championship teams, Curry said his mind hasn't changed from when he was asked earlier this year about the possibility.
The Warriors completed the most dominant performance in postseason history, sweeping through the Western Conference playoff picture before defeating the Cavaliers in five games.
"I'm not the GM of the team; I'm not in the front office, but I know our front office is going to continue to try to put our ball club, put our franchise in a position where we can compete for a championship year in and year out", James said. He made 14 of his 20 shots, including five 3-pointers.
We saw the variety of ways the Warriors can score when Curry and Durant are involved in those situations throughout the NBA Finals. "I remember plenty of times throughout my career I continued to just look in the past, and look ahead, and not stay in the moment". I put in work, I just had to trust in it.
"But as far as that team, they're going to be here for a while".
It was also a win for ABC and the National Basketball Association, with ratings not seen for a Game 5 since Bill Clinton was in the White House.

There are some caveats, however, as Republicans have to come together on a few key issues in order to meet this timeline. Last-minute negotiations among lawmakers and between Congress and the White House "are never in public", he said.
Not that age is a factor for James who became the first player to average a triple-double (points, rebounds, assists) in the finals.
Former Seattle Supersonic #2 pick and Rookie of the Year Kevin Durant has won his first championship and it wasn't with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Barring something insane happening, like a major injury and/or an unexpected member of one of the team's cores demanding a trade, we're probably getting this again. "And I was like, OK, we left everything on the floor, and it still wasn't enough".
James has already been to seven consecutive Finals. Then it was Golden State's time again, with Durant as the prized addition.
The invincibility of the Warriors, and the Cavaliers' inability (or lack thereof) to do something to change would be a key factor in whether he carries out that plan to remain in Cleveland for the rest of his career. He was particularly huge in the fourth quarter with numerous big buckets to help keep the Cavaliers at bay.
"I mean, come on, you got a bunch of guys who are talented and can shoot and pass and dribble, and they're unselfish", Kerr said. "So, this is the culmination of a year where they grew together and learned each other's games and got better and better all year, and it was just phenomenal to be part of".
