Laker fans came to celebrate - 250,000 of them - on Wednesday when they attended the Lakers Victory Parade and Rally, a route that took the celebration from Staples Center (where the Lakers play) down to the L.A. Colosseum.
Kobe takes charge of the championship trophy.
Parade as it goes by Staples Center, the Lakers' home.
The double deck buses were really decorated colorfully.
Laker players and lots of balloons.
Even the LAPD wanted souvenir photos.
An air view of the Colosseum. At the far end is the stage with the Laker floor. The floor was transported from Staples Center in 200-some pieces and set up for the rally. Pretty neat!
Another view of Staples Center.
Kobe gives a thumbs up.
Here's Derek Fisher as the bus goes along the parade route.
Kobe's wife and two little girls joined him on the parade bus.
Another view of the Colosseum, with 90,000 fans crammed in.

We watched the playoff and were rooting for the LA. Hubby was a little disappointed that it wasn't more of a contest but the best team definitely won.
