Will Cleveland Fans Actually Throw a Parade in Tristan Thompson's Honor?

CLEVELAND — Ordinarily speaking, sports-specific parades are saved for championship celebrations. When it comes to the city of Cleveland, however, things are rarely ordinary.

While more than a million fans filled Cleveland's streets June 22, 2016, to celebrate the Cavaliers' championship, the most recent parade took place in early January this year in mock celebration of the Browns' 0-16 season.

If all goes according to plan, several thousand fans will once again congregate, this time near Quicken Loans Arena, to laud the longest-tenured member of the Wine and Gold's allegedly punching the Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green in the face—an incident The Athletic's Marcus Thompson II detailed.
