The championship parade of the Toronto Raptors tomorrow morning is expected to draw up to two million fans in the streets, with some already camped at Nathan Phillips Square, where the team's players are expected to address everyone in attendance.
The parade will start at 10 in the morning at Exhibition Place’s Princes’ Gates and will continue at Lakeshore Boulevard. It will also pass through York Street and University Avenue before stopping at Queen Street to Nathan Phillips Square at around 12:30 in the afternoon.
The entire Raptors team will be present during the parade, and they will be riding open-air double-decker buses with the Larry O’Brien trophy. The teams front office staff will also be there, although it is unclear if they will be joining the players or if they will be on a separate vehicle.
Fans are being encouraged by the parade organizers and team members to wear Raptors gear as a show of support for the team.
The Raptors have won their first-ever championship last week by beating the Golden State Warriors in a grueling six-game series. Kawhi Leonard, who was traded to the team last summer, won the Finals MVP.
Fans are hoping that Leonard stays with the team, and they will surely make him feel that in tomorrow's event.
This is probably one of the most anticipated sports-related events in Toronto this year, and the fact that fans have been supporting this team through their ups and downs over the past couple of years will just make tomorrow's parade even more special.
