New York City celebrates a “Parade of Champions” for the Knicks!

Dear Commons Community,

New York City celebrated the NBA Champion New York Knicks yesterday with a parade and City Hall ceremonies.

The Knicks went up New York City’s famous Canyon of Heroes for a massive ticker-tape parade. An estimated 2 million fans lined Broadway from Battery Park to City Hall in Lower Manhattan, making it the best-attended ticker-tape parade in New York City history.  Mayor Zohran Mamdani presented the Knick players, coaches and front office members with Keys to the City at the end of the parade.While all the players were applauded and celebrated, the NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson was serenaded with “MVP, MVP” chants as he stepped up to the mic during the ceremony at City Hall.

In sum, it was a glorious day for the City, the Knicks and the people of New York. Below is a five-minute clip to give you a feel for parade’s spirit.
