Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was in tears before the NBA Finals were over, so overcome with emotion that he was brought to the TD Garden floor with several seconds left until the final buzzer of Game 6 sounded. Camera crews surrounded him, getting every angle of the emotions brought forth by the latest and perhaps greatest accomplishment of his legendary career.

Curry and the Warriors, of course, had been there before. He, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala were playing in their sixth championship series with coach Steve Kerr, vying for an incredible fourth title in eight seasons.

Once the game clock finally clock hit zeroes, Golden State celebrated like a team that had never reached the NBA's pinnacle, reflecting back on the seemingly endless time and tireless work necessary to get back there once again.

The Warriors mostly opted against pitting this championship run against the others, shrugging off questions about their comparative lack of talent and insisting they always knew another ring was possible. Make no mistake, though: A fourth Larry O'Brien Trophy is a coronation of Golden State's dynasty the likes of which basketball has never seen, and the central players know it.

And just in case they didn't, former US President Barack Obama made sure of that on Friday morning:

Golden State, remember, only visited Obama's White House in 2015, after winning the organization's first title in 40 years. The Warriors' subsequent championships came when former President Donald Trump, who sparred publicly with both Kerr and Curry at times, was in office.

Curry has gotten to know Obama well regardless, golfing with him on multiple occasions and partnering together on various political and philanthropic endeavors in recent years. Still, their friendship didn't make receiving a post-title call from the 44th President of the United States any less surreal for the driving force behind the Warriors' unprecedented success:

Maybe Curry will get used to it this time next June? After winning their fourth title a whopping seven years after their first, it's clear the Warriors will be in the running for another come 2022-23.
