Cavs fans flooded Cleveland to celebrate the NBA title, and the pictures are amazing
This is what it looked like when the team first got off the plane on June 21.
For the victory parade Wednesday, fans took over all of downtown.
It looked like an absolute mob scene.
Ohioans partied in the shadow of LeBron James.
People did anything they could to get the best view possible of the parade.
A banner reads "R.I.P. 1964." It refers to the last time a Cleveland pro sports team brought home a championship title. The last team to do so was the Cleveland Browns.
People occupied every bit of space in the city, including this parking garage.
But it wasn't just fans who showed up. Cavs player J.R. Smith showed up.
Kyrie Irving also stopped by.
Fans and athletes partied together. People had to be kept behind barricades during the parade, but all was peaceful.
While the celebrations have been peaceful, it was hard not to want to jump on top of a car.
And of course, LeBron James was there.
James, a hometown celebrity, was the center of attention at the parade.
He brought his whole family, and he couldn't resist snapping a photo.
With all the beads being thrown around, it almost looked like Mardi Gras.
This tweet from Sports Nation Ohio sums up the impact of this victory on Cleveland. "Cleveland's population: 396,815. Cleveland Today: 1.5 million and counting"
