So this is what a celebration 52 years in the making looks like.

Hundreds of thousands of Cavs fans are lining the streets in downtown Cleveland to celebrate the Cavaliers' first NBA title, which is also Cleveland's first title in any sport since 1964.

And it's packed to the max, as caught by those in attendance on social media.

It's a party!!! #Allin216 http://pic.twitter.com/rHEw5iv9o2

Not to be outdone by the fans, the players joined in on the fun too. LeBron James celebrated worry-free with his family.

And J.R. Smith, well, he continued his shirtless trend and celebrated with throngs of fans.

OK, now he's shirtless. A fan just yelled: "Never put on a shirt again!" http://pic.twitter.com/1YFbFlY6CG
