Throngs of fans were gathering well before the parade began, and it looked like a madhouse on Monday morning:

This is Toronto's first major professional sports championship since the Blue Jays won the World Series in 1993, so these fans have been waiting a long time to take part in another celebration like this. The city fully embraced Kawhi Leonard and these Raptors, and Kawhi is already having himself a good time:

Leonard won Finals MVP in his first season in Toronto after coming over in a trade from the San Antonio Spurs. While there are plenty of rumors floating around about what he's going to do in free agency in a few weeks, he's not worried about that at all right now, instead just soaking in the moment as a two-time champion.

The Raptors earned this parade by defeating the Golden State Warriors in six games in the NBA Finals. Toronto got strong performances from throughout the roster, which was necessary to take down a Warriors team that fought hard until the end despite being depleted.

The Raptors celebrated their title all weekend, and now it's time to have a ball with the fans of Toronto.
