Thousands of fans in South Florida joined the Miami Heat in their celebration of the team's second NBA title in a row on Monday. Despite all the fun of the festivities, there was a hint of danger as well.

As the parade was going on, LeBron James, Juwan Howard and others who were on top the Heat's float had to avert disaster by ducking under several overhead passes during the parade.

However, besides that little brush on the wild side, the parade was a huge success as the Heat and their fans got to relish in the moment for a second consecutive season.

As the excitement of another championship takes hold of city, Heat star Dwyane Wade says the team won't lose their hunger next season as they'll attempt an historic three peat, becoming the fourth franchise to win three titles in a row, joining the 1952-54 Minneapolis Lakers, the 1991-93 and 1996-98 Chicago Bulls, the 2000-2002 Los Angeles Lakers and the 1959-1966 Boston Celtics, who won eight in a row.

"Magic Johnson has five rings, and he never won three in a row," Wade said. "That shows how tough it is. We're going to be back next year hungry again to try to place ourselves in history.

"Winning back-to-backs is special; winning back to back to back would be something out of this world. That will be our goal: How do we come back and muster up enough to keep us focused and ... hungry throughout this season to get back in a position to win another championship?"\
