Are they planning a Lakers victory parade in downtown Los Angeles?
The Lakers are only halfway to clinching the NBA Finals, but already the powers that be in downtown L.A. are thinking about the when-and-where of their victory parade. In an e-mail to the downtown community Tuesday, LAPD Capt. Blake Chow said that a Lakers victory parade could happen as soon as Monday, should the team sweep the Orlando Magic in four games. A parade would begin at Staples Center about 11 a.m., travel south on Figueroa and end at the Coliseum about 1 p.m. Should it take a bit longer to clinch the title, the parade could be held Wednesday, June 17th (if they win in five games); Friday the 19th (in six games) or Monday the 22nd (if it takes the full seven games). And if a victory parade ends up being held in Orlando? Chow doesn’t allow for that possibility. Sources: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/06/downtown-la-contemplates-a-lakers-parade.
