But its fun. Reporter after the dubs rally, bart tweeted this advisory letting riders know the 12th and 19th street stations were empty, but lake merritt was filling up. Overall, bart seemed to be the best bet for dub nation to witness another championship parade. In oakland, cornell bernard, abc7 news. The parade has spawned a new hashtag on social media. That would be quickie. It all stems from a trolling war between Draymond Green and the cavs lebron james. Abc7s kristen sze is here with that.
