LOS ANGELES LAKERS HOST DOWNTOWN PARADE TO CELEBRATE 16TH NBA CHAMPIONSHIP

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Lakers will host a celebratory parade for all
local fans on Monday, June 21, starting at STAPLES Center and traveling south
on Figueroa Street to Jefferson Boulevard, just north of the USC campus and
Galen Center.

By defeating the Boston Celtics for the 2010 NBA championship, the Lakers not
only earned the franchise’s 16th league title but also repeated as champions
for the third time in the past decade. The Lakers have won back-to-back
titles a total of seven times in franchise history, tying the NBA mark
previously held by the Celtics. Tonight’s victory marks only the fourth of
the Lakers’ 16 NBA titles that went to a deciding seventh game, and the
first time besting the Celtics in a seventh game.

Based on attendance for the 2002 NBA championship parade and last season’s
festivities, team and City officials anticipate a crowd of between 500,000
and 2 million fans lining the two-mile parade route along South Figueroa
Street.

While the City of Los Angeles and hometown Lakers held an accompanying rally
attended by more than 95,000 inside the Coliseum to mark the 2009
championship, this time around, players will interact with fans from a
customized flat-bed float, equipped with audio capabilities. That will help
to mitigate anticipated pedestrian and traffic congestion, while also
relieving security, sanitation and other civic demands otherwise required of
the privately funded 2010 ceremonies.

Beginning at approximately 11 a.m. (PDT), Lakers players and their families
will board the customized float at STAPLES Center, and begin winding their
way down South Figueroa Street toward the USC campus before turning east on
Jefferson Boulevard at the Galen Center to complete the parade. A convoy of
double-decker, open-air buses and other attending vehicles will carry Lakers
coaches and staff, members of the Buss family ownership group, team
officials, and the Laker Girls to the conclusion of the two-mile route.

City officials recommend that, whenever possible, fans take the Metro Rail
system to the Pico/Chick Hearn station adjacent to the parade route rather
than attempt to drive into the STAPLES Center and Figueroa area. Parking will
be available in the downtown lots surrounding STAPLES Center and the Figueroa
corridor, yet street closures beginning the night before are likely to make
morning traffic far more difficult.

The City anticipates closing Figueroa Street between Olympic Boulevard to the
north and Jefferson Boulevard on the south beginning at midnight Sunday.
Other road closures include Chick Hearn Court between Figueroa Street and
Cherry Street; Cherry Street between Olympic and Pico Boulevards; Flower
Street between Washington and Jefferson Boulevards; Jefferson Boulevard
between Figueroa and Hoover Streets; and all intersections along the two-mile
route as designated by the Los Angeles Police Department and Department of
Transportation. LAPD and DOT anticipate reopening major intersections along
Figueroa Street as the parade commences, pending pedestrians in those areas
having dispersed and other safety conditions being met.
