Having four parades in eight years has been no less exciting for the Golden State Warriors and their fans.
Before sunrise, Warriors fans were already queuing up on San Francisco’s Market Street to claim their seats for the NBA Championship Parade.
The route started at Market and Main and extended to 8th Street, and people crowded a dozen deep trying to see their favorite players.
The players stood tall on the buses, but many jumped down during the parade to interact with the fans one by one.
