[Trifecta7]

Yeah what was up with that? They had the cheerleaders dance through like 3 songs yet couldnt let some of the players talk?

That felt ridiculous. Lamar and Ariza didn't even get to say anything! C'mon now! Feeling the crowd's energy, but man, the main event felt too short.

no crazy dancing huh, dang

Wow guys I just woke up from going to the parade. I got there around 400am waited in line on foot till the gates opened at 900am. I have to say this for being free and on a huge scale, yes it was awesome to be there it was an amazing site, but it was very unorganized, they left the fans all mashed up like sardines for 5 hours lol. Overall it was a great experience, but next year im watching it on tv. Everyone was well behaved we had not fights, but it took you about an hour to get in, an hour to get out, an hour to get to your car lol. It was insane. Well I hope you guys enjoyed it on tv, it was certainly fun out there with 95000 people. It was loud, there were so many cheers going on you didnt know if they were booing or cheering. Ill tell you this, Shannon Brown, Arzia, LO, FIsh and KObe got the loudest cheers. Boston sucks was nice, and 123 RING. I am dead tired, but thats all i can rememeber lol.

lol I remember seeing that. It seemed to me that machine kinda snobbed that dude while trying to get a pic with him. LOL I also saw Kobe had a inner-right forearm tat that I was unaware of.

I don't know that guys all Lakers out brand new stuff, he's likely part of the group, prolly someones brother, cousin, uncle, etc.

So does it count that a couple of buddies and I drove 1200 miles just to go to the parade? It was worth it.

^USA, man you were like a few rows in front of me, i remember that guy with that hat walking around. That's funny. It was awesome first time parade experience, it just all took too long, and too much stuff I didn't care about. They needed the players out there pretty much right after they got done with going through the parade. The crowd was worn out after waiting for so long.

[Trifecta7]

Lol, I was watching a recording and there was an interview in the crowd with a couple who were from Cleveland wearing yellow shirts. The husband said that he was a LeBron fan but today he's a Kobe fan and it's alright!

[USA]

It was definately a long day. Got there around 6:30 and there were easily 20-30,000 people already there. It was hot which didn't help. I had no trouble with anyone in the crowd and seen no trouble within the crowd which made the day even better without all the tension. Great experience. First time going to a championship parade and I am glad to experience it. I look forward to watching next years on the TV.

Here are a few more pics I took with my blackberry.

If you look closely, someone raised a Laker flag on the flagpole. Someone else did another one up to our immeadiate left also.


Laker court looks sweet.


These guys sat a way up behind us so I couldn't get a good pic and I just happen to see them when we were driving down the street on our way home.
