The world champion Los Angeles Lakers paraded down Figueroa today from Staples Center to the Coliseum. The crowd was estimated to be 150,000. Mayor Villaraigosa provided a welcome, but the big cheers were for the players, especially Kobe Bryant, the MVP of the final series that earned the team their championship rings. Ari Bloomekatz was there for the Los Angeles Times.
