Marshawn Lynch

Is there anyone in sports who is more fun than Marshawn Lynch? He’s just a guy you want to root for. I am a San Francisco 49ers fan and I watched him run all over my team and then win a Super Bowl for the Niners’ rival and I can’t dislike the guy.

Lynch was there in 2015, kicking it with Draymond Green and his mom. The running back is carefree and he knows how to let loose. That’s why he needs to be back in the parade this time around.

This time will be even better. An Oakland native, Lynch came out of retirement to play for his hometown Raiders before they leave for Las Vegas. He’s always been really in tune with his community, but now he gets to fulfill a childhood dream of playing for his hometown team.

Beast Mode is the guy you want at every single one of your parties. He’s unpredictable. Perhaps he’ll take control of a float or bus or something and just drive it around.

Maybe he’ll start dancing with a crowd. It’s possible that he just starts launching hundreds of skittles into the crowd of energetic Warriors fans. You really never know with him.

This isn’t his parade so he probably won’t try to steal the show from the guys who worked to secure the championship. But even his presence is great to see. It shows how connected to the area the Warriors are. And the Super Bowl champ’s smile is one of the most infectious you’ll ever see.

Marshawn Lynch knows how to have fun. He better be there when the Warriors celebrate again.
