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.<doc-sep>Click HERE if you’re having trouble viewing the gallery on your mobile device. OAKLAND — Not once, not twice, but for the third time in four years, the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday will proudly hoist their NBA Championship trophy in a victory lap around downtown Oakland as confetti rains down on large throngs of adoring fans. What that means for those in attendance — and even people just trying to get to work on Tuesday — is big crowds. Officials estimate 1 million or more fans will head to downtown Oakland for the parade, with a half-million people boarding BART.

Oaklandish store manager Lamar Brown said they’ve been stocking specially designed T-shirts for the Warriors’ third championship and planned to open early and stay open late. Down the street at Awaken Cafe, store manager Dustin Kram said they’ll have extra staff on hand, beer specials and the radio station, KNBR, broadcasting live from the cafe in the morning. And, at De Lauer’s Newsstand, owner Fasil Lemma said they’ll open their bathrooms for public use and will be selling all the new championship T-shirts, plus other gear from last year that he says he still gets call about. “It’s very exciting,” Lemma said. “We want to serve the community.” ‘THREE!’ chronicles the Warriors run to the 2018 NBA Championship. Order the book today! Here’s everything you need to know: Start time and route: The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at the corner of Broadway and 11th Street, head straight down Broadway until it turns right at 20th Street/Thomas L. Berkley Way, right again at Harrison Street, left on 19th Street and right again on Lakeside Drive before circling around Lake Merritt to its terminus at 13th and Oak streets. It’s expected to last about two to three hours. How early should I get there? Although the parade doesn’t start until 11 a.m., spectators are allowed to start grabbing their spots at the front of the sidewalks beginning as early as 6:30 a.m. See below for a list of things you should and shouldn’t bring. Where can I park? You probably can’t. So, try not to plan on it. There will no parking zones set up for the parade, along with street closures, making even driving around to look for open spots a challenge. Your best bet is to hop on an AC Transit bus or get on BART, which will both be adding extra trains and buses, along with employees to help patrons navigate them. (More on that below.) If you must drive, consider getting there extra early and plan on walking at least a few blocks; the no-parking zones will make street parking limited and the downtown parking lots, many of which are already booked with monthly parkers, may also be full.

Use the 12th Street and 19th Street stations and expect to rub elbows with your fellow BART riders; the trains will be packed. BART will be running rush-hour service all day using every train at the maximum possible length to cart the expected half-million riders on Tuesday, said BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost. Peak crowds are anticipated between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., and 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. But, it won’t be complete mayhem. BART will have extra staff on hand outside stations, as well as on the platforms, to help riders get to where they need to go. But, be mindful of your fellow patrons and consider these tips for riding BART to the big parade: Getting to BART: Try to get a lift to the station. Parking at BART often fills up by 7 a.m. on normal weekdays, and the large crowds expected Tuesday are certainly not going to make the situation any easier. And remember, the spaces labeled “permit” are for people who paid in advance for a monthly or daily permit parking space. Don’t steal their spot; you’ll have a good chance of getting a ticket if you do, since BART police will be “all hands on deck,” Trost said. Try to get a lift to the station.

Service changes: Several trains that originate at North Concord for the trip to San Francisco will only be going as far as downtown Oakland on Tuesday, Trost said. So, pay extra attention to the station announcements, or speak to the volunteers at the station platforms, to make sure you’re getting on the right train — especially if you’re heading to San Francisco. If you’re coming from the Warm Springs direction, get off at Lake Merritt.

The paper tickets come with a $0.50, per-trip surcharge and the Clipper cards have a $3, one-time activation fee.<doc-sep>OAKLAND — Stephen Curry emerged from their plane at Oakland International Airport on Saturday carrying the Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy, a joyful reproduction of a scene from June 2015. This time, the Warriors superstar guard had another escort. Kevin Durant, the superstar forward who wasn’t with the team in 2015, was at Curry’s side, holding the NBA Finals MVP trophy as the California sun splashed off their golden hardware. Next up is Tuesday’s parade through downtown Oakland. ‘THREE!’ chronicles the Warriors run to the 2018 NBA Championship.

It was the Warriors fourth straight appearance in the Finals — this should have been their fourth straight championship — a dynasty that began in 2015 when they won in Cleveland. Last season, they won the championship at Oracle Arena. “That’s Dub Nation right here,” guard Shaun Livingston said. “To have the trophy three times and bring it home to the Bay, it’s special.” They brought it home with sleepy eyes and well-celebrated souls. “Half the plane was shaking and half was sleeping from last night,” Livingston said. It was estimated that the Warriors popped open more than $400,000 worth of champagne after Friday’s win, and Kerr couldn’t guess how many bottles he opened. Kerr said he didn’t sleep on the flight. Nor did he spend quality time with “The Larry,” the trophy he has won eight times, five as a player. “It was up front with the players,” Kerr said. It’s believed Warriors owner Joe Lacob and his fiancee Nicole Curran again spent the night with the NBA’s golden globe, as they did in 2015 before bringing it home from Cleveland. Leading the celebration Saturday was Nick Young, the flamboyant guard nicknamed “Swaggy P” who came off the plane wearing red shorts and no shirt while spraying champagne. “Nick is definitely in charge of the celebration,” Kerr said. Outside the airport gates was a throng of fans who chanted “MVP!” as Curry drove past in his red Infinity sports car and into the 2017-18 season’s sunset. The Warriors were due to land at 3:30 p.m. but Jesus De La Paz, 46, of Oakland, was there at 11:30 a.m. to bask in the joy. His wait was nearly five hours, because the Warriors didn’t touch down till 4:20 p.m. No worries. “I wanted to see players and join in the celebration,” De La Paz said. “I want to feel the happiness and the collective celebration of the fans – and see (the Warriors) happiness.” The first fan to line Earhart Road on the airport’s east side was Felicia Johnson, 58, of Hayward. She had spent Friday night inside Oracle Arena watching the game with 18,000 other fans. She didn’t mind her five-hour wait Saturday either. “It’s been awesome. We’re family now,” Johnson said of the crowd that gathered down the curb. “Nobody wanted to leave. It’s been fun.

Kurtenbach: The Warriors can’t make the same mistake again this offseason Warriors exit interviews: Wiseman in future plans, help for Curry, the Klay-Oubre puzzle and more “I thought we’d be inside (the airport) to see them come off the plane, but the police said to line the fence,” Johnson said. “It’s OK. I’m going to the parade.” The LeVos family of Oakland turned out Saturday because other commitments Tuesday will keep them from the parade. Besides, reasoned 10-year-old Jack LeVos, “there’s not as many people here as at the parade.” Jack and his brother Jace, 7, passed the time playing with a small basketball and dodging sticks. And, of course, talking about another glorious NBA Finals. “I thought the MVP was going to be Steph Curry, because of the nine 3-pointers he made in Game 2,” Jace said.<doc-sep>
The Golden State Warriors are, once again, champions. For the third time in four years, the team will celebrate their place at the top of the NBA. Which means that for the third time in four years, their fans can celebrate with them. As they did in 2015 and 2017, the franchise will be throwing a parade for the team and the fans to celebrate this year’s NBA Finals victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The parade will take place on Tuesday, June 12, beginning at 11:00 a.m. PT. It’s a long route that will cover a good portion of Oakland. Who's coming out on Tuesday for the Championship Parade? #StrengthInNumbers Full event info available at https://t.co/UVGy6oV6Eq #DubNation pic.twitter.com/O2y2cVNTww — Golden State Warriors (@warriors) June 10, 2018 The route begins on Broadway, at 11th Street, will turn right on 20th Street, turn right on Harrison to 19th Street, and turn right on Lakeside Drive. It will end at Oak and 13th street. In year’s past, the team has had a shorter route, with a big ceremony at the end. But this year, that’s changing, as the team is making the parade just about the parade. Here’s how the organization is describing it: In an effort to provide a more intimate, free-flowing and engaging celebratory event for fans this year, the Warriors have implemented a few changes to the parade route and overall presentation. In lieu of a post-event rally, the Warriors and the City of Oakland have focused their planning efforts solely on creating an interactive parade, the primary element of a championship celebration, where fans will have the opportunity to share in the up-close excitement of the 2018 NBA Championship with the Warriors, their players, coaches, legends and staff. That sounds pretty cool! If you’re unable to make it to the event, you can still get some of the feel. It will be broadcast on NBC Sports Bay Area, with pre-parade coverage starting at 9:30 a.m. As for radio, 95.7 The Game will begin their live coverage at 6:00 a.m. If you need any more information, the Warriors website has you covered.
