Drunk Tom Brady, shirtless JR Smith and the 8 most memorable moments from championship parades

Drunk Tom Brady

Rob Gronkowski has the reputation for being a party animal, so imagine the sports world’s surprise when it was Tom Brady who turned up the hardest during the Buccaneers championship boat parade!

Brady has won everything possible as an NFL quarterback, so he gets to celebrate however he likes. His teammates in Tampa Bay definitely had their fun with him by wearing shirts of his infamous NFL Combine photoshoot.

Maybe seeing that image of himself drove him to pound a few too many beers.

Get the Gat

College football teams don’t really do championship parades, so if you want to go viral, you’ve got to make it count somewhere else.

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow made it happen with his iconic cigar-smoking pose in the locker room after the Tigers won the 2019 national title.

That swagger was only topped by the team’s “Get the Gat” challenge video from their White House visit.

Shirtless JR Smith

If Brady is the GOAT, the JR Smith is the GOAT of going shirtless.

The Cavs guard took off his jersey to celebrate Cleveland winning their first NBA title, and his commitment to going bare-chested was incredible.

Three days later, when the team rolled triumphantly through the city, he was still shirtless.

Can you dig Mark Madsen?

The Lakers championship parade after beating the 76ers in 2001 was one of the all-time greats. Shaq dropped his classic “Can you dig it?” line and went on to do a full rap verse.

All the while, Mark Madsen provided the most awkward background dancing in history.

It’s a glorious piece of early 2000s gold.
