Best moments from Warriors' NBA championship parade
The Golden State Warriors took to the streets of San Francisco on Monday to celebrate their NBA championship victory with thousands of fans.
Here's a compilation of some of our favorite moments from a memorable championship parade.
Klay loses championship hat
Klay Thompson decided to take a cruise on his boat to arrive at the parade but failed to account for the strong Bay Area winds. Thompson's championship hat flew off his head and into the water while he filmed an Instagram Live.

Goats recognize GOATs
One fan brought a pet goat donning a Stephen Curry jersey to the festivities. It's pretty clear where the Warriors faithful rank Curry among the all-time greats following his fourth title win.
