The Los Angeles Lakers won a title for the first time since 2010, but like everything else with this season amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, a change is required with the customary championship parade.
Under normal circumstances, the Lakers would board buses and drive through downtown L.A. as fans line the sidewalks. In 2009, the parade culminated with a rally at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum. But due to restrictions in place, the Lakers are delaying a championship parade until a safer time.
Of course, despite Staples Center, L.A. Live and Mayor Eric Garcetti asking fans to not congregate in the area, thousands came together in and around downtown after the Lakers defeated the Miami Heat in Game 6.
