"The Golden State Warriors congratulate the Toronto Raptors on their historic achievement and bringing the 2019 NBA championship to the City of Toronto," the ad reads.
Curry and his family lived in Toronto while his father, Dell Curry, played the final seasons of his NBA career with the Raptors from 1999-2003.
It's estimated that between 1 and 2 million people crammed Toronto streets Monday to see the NBA champs during a victory parade and rally at Nathan Phillips Square city center.
