The Cleveland Cavaliers held a parade and rally Wednesday (22 June) in honor of their 7-game NBA Championship win over the Golden State Warriors.

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James:

"Aw man. They asked me if I had a speech or something prepared. I really don't. I'm going to speak from my heart like I always do. What's going on right now is still so surreal to me. It still hasn't hit me and for some odd reason I feel like I'm going to wake up and it'll be game 4 and I'll be like, shit you're down 2-1 still. Like, I swear, I keep feeling that because it's so surreal and I was talking to my wife and I was like, 'Babe, we did it.' Like - you guys only see the finished product and when we step on the floor either 18 minutes before the game or Kyrie (Irving) is taking a long time to put two pairs of socks on so it's like 12. You guys see it from that point to the end of the game, but what you guys do not see is the hard work behind the scenes, when all these cameras and all of these lights aren't around. And I heard alot of 'Thank you LeBrons' today and 'Thanks for coming home' and 'Thanks for keeping your promise' but you guys really should be thanking all of the guys up here to be honest..

SOUNDBITE (English): LeBron James:

"I'm nothing without the city. You guys are unbelievable. And these guys tell me I've got to turn around so - I'm nothing without y'all. I love all of y'all. I love all of y'all. Shit, let's get ready for next year."
