I was watching on tv. It was funny how they managed to find a couple from cleveland who were lebron fans wearing laker jerseys. they said "when in rome" funny.

Other than that I LOVED the parade it was beautiful. I cried. it was truly awesome.

I just went to the Staples Center part of the parade. It was awesome, alot of people. I wish the parade would drive a little slower, because it went by quickly. Came home with some "One more cookie" posters that Nike was handing out. The crowd was really representative of LA, a big melting pot.
Oh yeah I need that TV on the side of ESPN zone, that thing is clear, they should put it inside Staples.

I went to the coliseum to watch the show and it was great. Grant it we sat on the furthest end of the stadium from the stage, it was still nice to be with all the Laker fans. The only painful part was getting out. It took way too long. I have pictures and vids. I'll try and post later.

I got a little sunburned too. I also didn't bring my camera because it said that they weren't allowed.

I saw a lot of them when I was inside though!

Yea... that always happens. There were video cameras coolers big bags.. everything that it said NOT to bring.

No if we would have brought those things.. we would have been sent back to the car, right? LOL ..

Luckily, I brought my small Digital Cam though.

First time I was free to attend the parade. Too bad the fans at the parade aren't the ones filling up the Staples Center on a nightly basis. We'd have home court advantage for sure! Really dedicated people. Overall I'm very happy that there was no negative behavior. It truly was a beautiful day.

Oh yea, the Black Mamba was in the house

My buddy had the only NUMBER "15" poster/sign in the Coliseum. The 1 was shaped like the trophy and then just a regular 5 written in black. He had on a #8 Kobe jersey, I was next to him with silver glasses in a purple Laker shirt.

We got on the screen many times at the coliseum and even saw ourselves on TV!!! We were on the Fox Sports Replay of the Parade... just when the Laker players arrive at the coliseum. They cut to my friend and I twice as he was holding up the number "15" sign.

I'll post pics soon. We all got sun burnt! lol. Racoons!!! haha.

Haha. Cool. Where were you sitting at? Were you above or below us? We were about 6 rows above the guys with the "Los Lakers" Banner.

Police at the end of the parade route had to put on their riot gear because people kept throwing water bottles at them. That was the only thing negative I saw about the parade. Otherwise, pretty tame and otherwise awesome!

Man, i would've made it inside the coliseum but it took me almost and HOUR to find parking. I had a primo spot across the street. But this cop was hustling people, 25 bucks or so. I should've have left my car and risked it. I think i ended up a mile away and the walk killed me.

I ended up up watching the parade at a bus stop in front of USC so I was pretty close and managed to take some pics. Im way too tired now.

SO many people came out to the streets, it was insane. So many fine women as well

I hope the lakers win again soon, next time, i'll get out there earlier and take some cash just in case.

Funny:

Laker profiles popping up on screen:

"Hi I'm Kobe Bryant"

Crowd: "YEAAAH!!!!"

"Hi I'm Derek Fisher"

Crowd: "WOOOO!"

"Hi, I'm Sasha Vujacic"

Crowd: "BOOOOO!"

Guess everyone knows about the goose egg in the Finals.
