Warriors' parade trolls everyone while Jordan Bell, Swag Champ steal show
The Golden State Warriors' championship parade wound through the streets of Oakland for the third time in four years on Tuesday afternoon, and Steph Curry's embrace of the crowd and Klay Thompson's dance moves barely offered a taste of the highlights.
As the fans basked in the Bay Area sun and the glow of the budding dynasty in front of them, here are three major themes from the festivities.
Trolling begins at home
The Dubs started their day like many NBA fans around the world: by getting jokes off about Kevin Durant.
Not to be sidelined by the general manager and rival Bob, host and play-by-play broadcaster Bob Fitzgerald got in his jab at Durant just seconds later.
While Durant grinned and bore it, the Warriors' focus quickly shifted to roasting Finals adversaries LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers - spearheaded, of course, by Draymond Green.
Jordan Bell soaks it all in
Rookie center Jordan Bell made the most of his first championship parade, and has arguably surpassed J.R. Smith as the NBA's best shirtless Hennessy spokesman.
Swaggy P officially becomes Swag Champ
Forget his abysmal playoff performance: Nick Young's only objective as a member of this year's Warriors was to show out on parade day, and he came through.
Riding a bus shirtless after his first championship and smoking a stogie in the California sun - Young is the Swag Champ indeed.
