Game Tape: The Cleveland Cavaliers Championship Parade

1.3 million friends gathered in downtown Cleveland yesterday to celebrate the city’s first championship in 52 years. We had people scaling buildings, hanging and falling from buildings, people eating poop (allegedly), JR reenacting the Lion King, Kyrie doing the Running Man, and LeBron swearing up a storm.

Let’s look at the game tape


 

Maybe the best championship parade picture of all time?

TURN THE FUCK UP

Dan Gilbert apparently doesn’t know who Steph Curry is

Up close and personal with The King

Let’s check in on how JR Smith’s parade went:

Coolest moment ever. JR Smith holds up a kid in the middle of the parade. Of course someone added the Lion King soundtrack to it.

Who needs a shirt when you have a ring? Not JR

According to the Internet, JR took a fans phone, snapped this picture AND wrote this caption. Legend.

 

He’s got my vote

A couple buddies got some butt tattoos

Hipster Tito dropped a nuke on the idiot pundits

 

MGK performed in front of over a million people and swung from traffic lights

The streets were packed

Needed to cool off a little

I’d suggest sunscreen for next year’s parade

Lotta people in trees yesterday

Kevin Love hasn’t taken that championship belt off for 3 days

Oh, and he also brought SI Swimsuit model Kate Bock along with him

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

The Other King

I’m pretty sure Mo Williams danced through the entire parade

The Mall and Lil Kev

A guy climbed a tree

 

Tristan had squirt guns on his float

Get that weak stuff outta here

Fuck up some commas

 

Kyrie greeted the crowd with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind

Then he busted out a quick Running Man Challenge

A girl dropped from the Heinen’s building and was caught by the people

This guy wasn’t missing this parade no matter what

 

A fan may or may have eaten a little poop. No one knows if it was actually poop. Could have been mud. Yep, that’s it. A fan ate some mud. Big deal.

The Free Stamp turned into a giant chair

Here’s a view from the free stamp (via Reddit)

 

Tristan Thompson verbally posterized Draymond Green

 

Channing Frye was a little sauced and he had the mic drop of the day

Champs

Here’s LeBron’s entire uncensored speech

 

 

 

Mishmash- Girl fight; Mac and cheese Cheetos cheesesticks; LeBron’s block from all angles; Russillo on Bayless

Cleveland pic of the day

Start your day watching LeBron’s block from every angle

Deep fried mac and cheese Cheetos cheesesticks!!!

Ryen Russillo says ESPNers weren’t allowed to criticize Skip Bayless’s stupid ass opinions

You’ve seen it probably a hundred times but I thought JR lifting this kid in the air was really really cool

This is the worst fight ever but it’s making the Internet rounds so here ya go

Some insane guy attacked a Burger King worker because he didn’t like his milkshake

Videos: Over One Hundred Reaction Videos From The Cavs Winning A Title

This is a running blog post. New videos will be posted daily as people keep submitting them. Check in for updates!


After the Cavs beat the greatest bestest most amazing wholesome golden team of all time Sunday night, you knew there’d be some A+ reactions. 52 years of pent up excitement will do that to you. When Kyrie hit that 3 the city collectively lost its mind and when the clock hit 0 it was absolute mayhem inside of the Q, outside at the watch party, inside the local bars, and all around northeast Ohio. Here’s a collection of reader submitted reaction videos and videos I’ve seen floating around social media.

First off, let’s hear and watch Fred McLeod’s call:
