LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh & co. will be parading their new-earned Larry O'Brien trophy on Monday in a victory parade set to take-off from downtown Miami to the American Airlines Arena.

According to the Miami Herald, the celebrations will start at 9:00 a.m. but the victory procession will begin at 11:00 a.m. with the NBA Champs starting from Brickell Village to the arena.

The Heat played whole-heartedly during the Playoffs and now they will demonstrate their abilities to celebrate equally as hard as they showcase to the world how you wrap a season up in grand-finale style.

LeBron James is at the apex of his career and is on his way to become one of the best players to have played the game.
