Cleveland Cavaliers' Jordan McRae, left to right, James Jones, Dahntay Jones, LeBron James, and J.R. Smith all share a laugh during a rally, Wednesday, June 22, 2016, in Cleveland.

Following a parade choked to a crawl by a massive crowd, after proclamations, speeches and fanfare, Cleveland watched a symbolic passing of the trophy — and the torch.
