The parade for the Warriors will be held on Tuesday in Oakland.
While the 2015 and 2017 parades, featured processions that ran through downtown Oakland and alongside Lake Merritt before culminating in a celebration at the convention center, this year’s will be a little different, per BART:
We’re gearing up for an epic day on Tuesday when Oakland hosts a victory celebration starting at 11 am. This latest party will be a bit different from years past because there will not be a post-parade rally at Lake Merritt.
Golden State’s four-year run is one of the most successful in NBA history, winning three championships and losing in seven games in the NBA Finals in the one year they didn’t win it. The Warriors have averaged 66 wins over the last four seasons, including a league-record 73 victories in 2016. Golden State in the last four postseasons is a remarkable 63-20 (.759), including 15-7 in the NBA Finals, with all four championship matchups against the Cavaliers.
It is the first time in the history of the four major professional sports (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL) that two teams have met for a championship in four consecutive seasons.
