SAN FRANCISCO. – Tens of thousands of jubilant blue-and-gold clad Golden State Warriors fans lined Market Street in San Francisco on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) to celebrate the team’s fourth NBA championship triumph in eight years.
The players, who beat the Boston Celtics 4-2 for the title, basked in the adoration of the crowd with several of them leaving their buses to embrace delirious “Dubs” fans under sunny skies clouded only by blasts of confetti.
“This one is the sweetest,” a champagne-soaked Draymond Green told Reuters as he took a break from the festivities to pick up an ice cream sundae.
The team has clearly relished proving the doubters wrong.
“What are they gonna say now?” Curry, who took home Finals MVP honors, tweeted alongside a photo of him with an armful of trophies and a cigar in his mouth atop his parade bus.
The team’s success even surpassed head coach Steve Kerr’s expectations. — Reuters
