Lakers Victory Parade 2009

Since we weren't able to make any of the 3 Victory Parades when the Lakers "3-Peated" earlier this decade, there was no way in Hell we were going to miss this one! After the Lakers won the title in 5 games on the road, it still hadn't rally sunk in that they won it all... well that is... until this morning. Eventually after fighting traffic we got to Figueroa and Chick Hearn Ct. which is basically the corner the Staples Center sits on. We found a spot with "unobstructed views" and waited for the Parade to begin. Let me just say it was madness once it did! One by one the players came out of Staples and boarded the trolleys with the cheers getting louder and louder... when Kobe finally came out the place just went bananas! Around 11:15 the trolleys rolled out and it was a good 30 minutes of celebrating and partying in the streets until they had passed us by. What a great way to spend the morning!
