If you live in Southern California, tonight you didn't need your television on to know the LA Lakers won. The minute the game was over, the horns started blowing, the fans were screaming and the fireworks were going off. This is the Southland and the Lakers are celebrities in our eyes so there is no surprise about the excitement.
Players who made the win happen will be there. Players like Kobe Bryant and even family such as his wife Vanessa Laine Bryant will be on the floats. Expect to see players, staff, family and of course, the Laker girls.
Another exciting part of the NBA Finals winner is the LA Lakers Parade 2010. This tradition is one you either love (because you attend) or hate (because the traffic in downtown is gridlocked.) According to the Lakers website the parade route is already set.
The parade will start at 11am on Monday and start by going down South Figueroa Street. From there it will weave its way around downtown until it gets to the Galen Center . Instead of the big production like last time, in an effort to save some money, the players will be on flatbed trucks that will have mics to interact with fans as they drive along.
In years past the winning team took hours to go the two mile stretch of parade route. Thousands of people stood 7 to 10 people deep just to catch a glimpse of the team. This year the attendance could be close to 2 million people, so be prepared if you decide to go.
Winning the NBA Finals and seeing the championship rings on the players is a big deal to those who live in Los Angeles. There is nothing better than seeing some celebrity athletes on the streets of Los Angeles.
Last time they won, I went down to the festivities to enjoy and I can't stress enough how much fun it was to cheer them on. A detailed map is on the Lakers site for the best place to stand to see all the players.
If you missed the highlights of the game, check out this cool photo show of Laker action at the Staples Center last night.
