The fans in Milwaukee are ready to cheer on the newly crowned NBA champs

For the second time in the history of their franchise, the Milwaukee Bucks are NBA champions. After falling behind 2-0 to the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Finals, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks ran off four straight victories to bring Milwaukee its first NBA title in 50 years. 

Now, Antetokounmpo and his teammates will celebrate their accomplishment with the city that supported them along the way as the Bucks' championship parade is set for Thursday afternoon. Given the fact that over 65,000 fans showed up to watch Game 6 outside of the arena on Tuesday night, the streets of Milwaukee should be packed with Bucks fans today as they cheer on the newly crowned NBA champions.
