LeBron James was one of the distinguished celebrities who were present at SoFi Stadium and had a blast during the Super Bowl halftime show, featuring Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and a surprise appearance by 50Cent. Now that the LA Rams are triumphant against the Cincinnati Bengals, they have scheduled their own victory parade on Wednesday, February 16th. However, the NBA icon has some massive celebration plans which he wanted to pull off.

LeBron James’ Grand Parade
LeBron James’ idea is to have a parade with 3 teams joining to celebrate the current Super Bowl champions and also their respective wins in the past years, capping off with a live concert.
LA Dodgers won the 2020 MLB Series by 3-1 against the Tampa Bay Rays; The Los Angeles Lakers won the 2020 NBA Championships against the Miami Heat with 4-2.
However, the authorities didn’t allow both teams to organize a victory parade because of covid-19 related restrictions, which didn’t permit players to attend or organize such events as the spread of the virus was at its peak during that time. James took to Twitter and pitched his massive idea for the parade, stating:
“We [Lakers], Dodgers and Rams should all do a joint parade together!!!! With a live concert afterwards to end it!! City of Champions. Congrats once again!!!”

Dodgers‘ third baseman Justin Turner also expressed an interest in joining alongside the LA Rams in their celebratory parade.

It is obvious how LeBron James feels as both Lakers and the Dodgers could not have their own parade and celebrate their victory, as there were athletes who won their first championship weren’t able to rejoice the moment among the people. However, some netizens weren’t happy with the idea and criticized him over social media as they want the spotlight to be on the Rams Super Bowl victory particularly, as it is a grand moment for the team.

Rams’ Fairytale Ending
As a part of the tradition of the Super Bowl victorious team to visit the Disneyland resort, Los Angeles Rams Stars Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald, and MVP Cooper Kupp visited Disneyland and joined the victory parade organized at the park in the main street as the first phase of their celebration. They cruised over a Rams themed-float as they waved at the people gathered around.
Aaron Donald shared his views, stating: “It’s surreal. We’re still living in the moment, so it’s still sinking in. To know how much work we put into this, to get this point, to call ourselves world champions, this is what it’s about.” The athletes also thanked people for joining with them at this moment.
