This photo took a lot of sweat and effort to get.  Instead of going to the Coliseum, I decided to jump into the sea of fans and get shots along the parade route.  Tens of thousands of fans lined the streets and I had to join into the group of sprinting fans and run down alleys and side streets to get 4 or 5 different opportunities to photograph the Lakers.  I just happened to get back to the floats as Kobe and his family, along with Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa rode by.  Kobe flashed a big 4 for the number of his titles and there you have the photo.
