It’s a great day for the Bostonians, as the Boston Celtics brought home the championship title on June 18. Celebrations are due, and the team plans on hosting a parade in Boston, however, that is not where the procession will begin. After winning the championship, the team reportedly has plans on taking the parade to Miami before heading to their home city. That might make you wonder, Why is that?

Well if you were following the NBA season, then it would be a little more obvious that the two teams had an intense rivalry that started way before this season. It was last year that the Boston Celtics were knocked out of the playoffs by the Miami Heat, and upon winning the title, it seems like they want their rivals to know who the winners are. However, it looks like there is a heat wave coming in, and this is a reference to the Miami team, and this could spoil the plans for the winning champions. With the cities on red alert, Mayor Michelle Wu took the responsibility to warn the paraders to stay careful.
