Best moments from Celtics' championship parade
The Boston Celtics celebrated their NBA-record 18th title in style.
Players, coaches, and fans came together Thursday to mark the franchise's championship victory, which came earlier this week against the Dallas Mavericks.
The day started off early, with the Celtics faithful commandeering the Boston streets to get the best view for the parade.

Derrick White marked the occasion with new teeth after cracking them in the clinching Game 5. He said that he had three hours worth of work done to them prior to the parade.

Following along in front of Joe Mazzulla’s float and he has been an absolute madman this whole time. This is the only moment of calm I’ve seen so far. Keeps jumping on the roof of the duck boat to scream at the crowd. It’s pandemonium out here pic.twitter.com/E8F6UnRM4N

Joe Mazzulla jumped out the window of his duck boat, ran through the streets hyping everyone up, then somehow jumped back into the duck boat even on a torn meniscus pic.twitter.com/3MBSKZ5wGU

The fans also brought the laughs, taking shots at some of the Celtics' rival players while showing up in droves to celebrate the satisfactory end of the season.
