Celtics Championship Parade!!
We've all seen these parades on SportsCenter, the highlights of fans lining the streets, going crazy, but until you're in one I'm tellin u... U HAVE NO IDEA!! The madness was crazy. Not sure how many people were out there but it seemed like millions. It was just a sea of green, people everywhere. All ages. And they were going crazy. Some of u were probably there makin all that noise, and trust me we heard ya. And if u weren't there u will see on the highlights and you will wish u were there. It was a day filled with confetti, music, screaming and Green, Celtic Green. The celebration was off the hook, one that none of us will ever forget.
Everything started this morning. We met at the facility at 8:45 and took the team bus to the Garden. We had police escorts down. When we got to the Garden, we saw all the people in the streets... it was crazy!
We were all assigned Duck Boats to ride through the city. I was on #16. I was inside the Duck Boat at first, but when we pulled out of the parking lot, I went and stood on the back. MAN...IT WAS AMAZING. It felt soo good to see all the people that came out. I'm telling you that there's nothing in the world that tops that feeling. The signs that people had were great...there were some real funny ones. E. House was on the Duck Boat with me, and we pointed out the best signs to each other. I'm telling u it was some crazy ones! I think E. House coined how we all felt on the Duck Boat when he said, "We went from basketball stars to rock stars in one day." That's how I felt...like a rock star.

The memory on my camera ran out just before your boat got to me. I had to delete some things, and chase you down the street for two blocks, but I finally got a shot. It was great being out in the sea of green. Thanks for helping bring back the old Celtic Pride.

Rajon, sending our love from all your fans from kentucky. I am now the proud owner of a #9 celtics jersey. I live in ohio now but i was at school with you and it was great watching you play there.
Everytime i went to a game i lost my voice for minimum 2 days following. Live it up and all you guys be safe celebrating. I recently saw Ramal perform at a concert. it was amazing he is a talented guy. Your my second favorite NBA player of all time, sorry man Chuck Hayes holds a special place in my eyes. God Bless Rajon. Im out. -

Can't believe!!! I found you here!!
Is it the 'REAL' Rajon, right?
Fortunately,
I 've found this space accidentally, but so glad
just seen you on the duck boat today !
you'r so coo mann!
You are the great Champions ever, making us so proud.
>>Congrat, Rajon << -
That was FUN! For local folks, the rolling rally is going to be On Demand, so you can catch it on your cable in case you missed. it. Instead of yelling "take it off"... did folks tell Big Baby to "put it back on!!" ;)
Can't wait for the Finals DVD to come out and savor the win again :)

I watched the parade on ESPN and it looked crazy there.
I wished I could have been there...but being in Kentucky, I was a little too far away.
You're the best Rondo...keep up the great work. -
Glad you guys had a good time. I saw the highlights on tv and it looked like it was total madness. Hope you guys can repeat again next year.
-
Rajon, that parade is just the beginning of the fun. Tonight you have festivities at Fenway Park, having the Red Sox wear green in honor of your great accomplishments. There isn't a team that deserves this more than you guys. Soak it all in and thanks for all your hard work!
Sincerely,
Jackie

I am glad to see you won one, I thought maybe Felton would win one. You come form a city of Ballers,
You represented well the city of Louisville and Boston. I am glad to see the Eagles are still flying high

It's one of those moments that is going to keep you motivated to win another championship. Picturing all those people coming out all over again to celebrate. I want to see that parade here in Portland in the coming years.
