LA Lakers Championship Parade Takes Place in Los Angeles, Coverage Live Online

The championship parade for the Los Angeles Lakers is taking place in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The parade began at 11 a.m. PT (2 p.m. ET).

 

The parade commemorates the Lakers winning the 2009 NBA Championship, in which they defeated the Orlando Magic in five games. Kobe Bryant won the Finals MVP award and head coach Phil Jackson earned his 10th championship, the most titles for any coach in U.S. professional sports history.

 

The championship is the 15th in franchise history and the fourth title in 10 years, the most of any team in any major sports over that span.

 

The parade coverage is streaming live online at NBA.com as thousands of Laker fans flood the streets of L.A., along the 2 1/2-mile route from Staples Center, the team's home court, to the packed Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to support their team. The live coverage is available here.

 

The parade includes individual player introductions of all of the players and coaches, as well as top Lakers executives. This is the first such event since Shaquille O'Neal was traded in 2004.
