There are many honors that come with winning an NBA title -- namely, bragging rights over the rest of the league and some substantial bling. But one of the most notable is a trip to the nation's capital so the team can meet the president of the United States while being welcomed at the White House.
On Tuesday, the 2021-22 NBA champion Golden State Warriors took full advantage of that opportunity. Despite having won the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2017 and 2018, Stephen Curry & Co. hadn't visited the White House since 2016.
Here are some of the most memorable sights, sounds and moments from the reigning champs' trip to Washington.
