With air horns blowing, music pumping and blue and yellow confetti raining down from the sky, Dub Nation celebrated the Golden State Warriors’ NBA championship at a rally and parade in Oakland on Thursday.
Fans came from all over the Bay Area — including Vallejo, San Jose, San Francisco, Redwood City, Novato, Union City and Oakland — to celebrate with their team and fellow fans. They chanted “Waaaaarriors” and sought out photos with many of the players.
The championship is the Warriors’ second in three years. They won the Finals in a 129-120 win on Monday night over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5, when Kevin Durant capped his spectacular first season with Golden State by scoring 39 points.
After a heartbreaking Finals loss in 2016 to the Cavaliers, fans and the team were more than ready to celebrate. Here are some photos and videos of Thursday’s festivities.
