Champions are celebrating with champions Wednesday in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers, led by LeBron James, stunned the sports world Sunday by becoming the first team ever to rally from a 3-1 NBA Finals deficit to win the Larry O'Brien Trophy with a 93-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
Wednesday, the city of Cleveland gets its first championship parade in 52 years, and a trio of Ohio State champions are in attendance.
