Her dad might be a two-time League MVP, but Riley Curry is the queen of the NBA Finals trophy presentation.

When the Golden State Warriors made their NBA title run in 2015, Riley was front and center, just as she was on Monday night.

While her father, Warriors’ Steph Curry, was being interviewed by ESPN’s Doris Burke after the Warriors 129-120 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, four-year-old Riley danced like no one was watching and later checked out how she looked in her championship hat in the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

Steph carried his younger daughter Ryan with him to cheer with fans after the game and to join Riley and wife Ayesha for a family photo with the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

If Kevin Durant didn’t play as well as he did in all five Finals games, Riley would be the MVP.
