Spurs Championship Parade
For the
third time in twice as many years, San Antonians celebrated a World NBA
Championship won by our San Antonio Spurs. Over 300,000 lined the banks of the
San
Antonio River to cheer as the players cruised by on beautifully decorated Rio
San
Antonio Cruises river barges. Below are exclusive photos taken at the River
Center
Mall leg of the parade, hosted by Sonny Melendrez.
