What happened
New York City erupted in orange and blue as the Knicks celebrated their first NBA championship since 1973 with a ticker-tape parade through Lower Manhattan’s Canyon of Heroes. Fans packed Battery Park, Church Street, City Hall and surrounding sidewalks, with many arriving overnight and climbing onto trucks, lampposts, newsstands and other surfaces to glimpse players including NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson. City officials expected one of the largest parades in New York history, with estimates ranging from more than one million to two million attendees. The celebration marked the franchise’s first ticker-tape parade and capped a 53-year title drought that energized generations of long-suffering Knicks fans.
