Party for Warriors, Oakland

Fans will be sorry to see 2019 move to San Francisco.

OAKLAND, CALIF. — Even from six rows back, 9- and 10-year-old brothers William and Rizal Cahambing were not going to miss a chance to see their favorite Golden State Warrior, Stephen Curry, as he rode atop a double-decker bus during Thursday’s parade to celebrate the team’s latest championship.

The brothers took turns climbing on top of a water cooler to see over the crowd and jumped with delight as Curry’s bus went by.

With talk of the team being an NBA power for years to come, children may grow up in an era of Warriors dominance that could make this year’s celebration a regular occurrence — although not one that takes place in Oakland much longer.

The Warriors are headed to San Francisco, where they broke ground this year on an arena slated to open in 2019.

Oakland is losing one of its other beloved teams, the Raiders, to Las Vegas, and the city is still reeling from a police scandal and mourning a deadly warehouse fire.

So Thursday was a rare chance to celebrate after the Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers for the NBA title.

William and Rizal’s father, Ray Cahambing, said it was unfortunate Oakland was losing the Warriors, “but the diehard fans” would make the trip across the bay to San Francisco to see the team.

Curry rode with his father, wife and two daughters beside him. He got off his bus and shouted as he gave high-fives to the crowd.

Warriors forward Draymond Green wore a T-shirt that read “Quickie” with the “Q” styled to mimic the logo on the Cavs’ Quicken Loans Arena. Green told NBC Bay Area that the shirt reflected the Warriors’ quick series win over the Cavaliers, 4-1.
